« on: March 27, 2010, 04:52:27 PM »
Getting Ad-Aware Plus free from this website http://store.v3.co.uk/?act=details&id=4636

I wouldn't take ad-aware, free or otherwise, whilst it will run with avast, I feel it is yesterdays anti-spyware and there are much better anti-spyware/malware solutions, that also work with avast.

Ad-aware is fine running with avast.

But ad-aware's poor detection rates compared to malwarebytes and the others makes ad-aware not a good choice.

Decided not to install it after realizing its not as good as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware  or Superantispyware I already have for on-demand
and with those two and Avast! and Winpatrol Plus that's good enough!!

Better not to use along with Avast. This version of Ad-Aware has Antivirus inbuilt (Vipre Engine) and will certainly conflict with Avast.
