You need Ad-aware Professional. Ad-watch (realtime protection) is included in Professional. If the spyware that shows up is Tracking Co. (or something like that) don't worry that cookie is pretty slippery. Ad-watch should definitely prevent everything except Tracking Co.

You might also want to d/l SpyBot - search & destroy and also Spyware Blaster.
What Ad-Aware misses these 2 program usually get.
When you use Ad-aware, make sure you check the quarantined list and delete it too. That tracking co cookie automatically quarantines itself

well spybot search and destroy is the best! at least the best for free... I only use spybot and spysweeper (you have to pay for this)

spybot search and destroy is the best to search and spysweeper stays on your taskbar at all time and blocks the intruders

great combination. Both can be updated (defenitions) from the progrma just as an antivirus.

I had the same problem sometime ago, and It was because I used the normal kazaa. Also used adware and kazaa stopped working when I uninstalled those spywares.So I only used kazaa lite

And don't click on every "yes" that appears on your screen, maybe you're watching too much porn :wink:

Use spybot just to check for more problems
