I used to use Ad aware for years. But now they have bundled Anti virus with it. I installed it the other week without realising this and it conflicted with my avast. So i got rid of it. What would be a good alternative to Adaware? Thanks.

Spybot Search & Destroy, I use it with Comodo without any issues.

You should have a look at one of the following (free) tools:

- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.malwareby...lwarebytes_free

- SuperAntiSpyware Free Edition: http://www.superanti...m/download.html

- Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

- Spyware Terminator: http://spyware-termi...en.softonic.com

or HitmanPro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

or HitmanPro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

If I am not mistaken, it's not a free software (at least, for the removal functionality, after the free trial 30-day period).

or HitmanPro http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro

If I am not mistaken, it's not a free software (at least, for the removal functionality, after the free trial 30-day period).

Use it once to see what has been missed.

^^ True but I've been using it for at least a year and never had to activate the program.

For example if tracking cookies are found I don't delete them via HitmanPro but via for example CCleaner.

I use Spybot also but only for the Immunization feature (Hosts etc etc) but I regularly scan my system with Hitman in addition to other Security programs just as a Second Opinion program.
