AdAware SE discontinued

[patio]

As of January this year AdAwareSE is being discontinued.

The program is however still Free and can be downloaded Here

The rumors about now having to pay for it are untrue.

Update as soon as possible as i believe updates ended yesterday for SE.

Temporary sticky.

They released two updates this week. I wonder what this means?

I believe they still want people using the older version to be protected...automatic updates for it ended the 2nd week of January.

I down loaded the new free version yesterday

I've been informed that the new version is bundled with the Ask toolbar....      

Therefore i'm going to leave this a sticky for awhile longer.

The Ask Toolbar is becoming a trend with a lot of products. Spy Sweeper is bundling it also. Not cool in my eyes.

There was another Ad-Aware SE reference file released today if anyone is still using it.

That's what i've been doing...
The updates are being listed regularly at majorgeeks, Scott's Newsletter Forums and The Elder Geek to name a few...

No Ask tool bar on my new download.

BTW I use Firefox browser and like it.

When I downloaded the new free version,  there was a check box option for the Ask toolbar. I unchecked it and got no Ask toolbar. I also have no problems getting the latest updates.

Good to hear they are giving you a choice to not install it.
Thanx for the info.

  Do you know of any good freeware replacements for AdAware? Spybot isn't all that good. Webroot Spy Sweeper is very good, but it is on a subscription basis and is good for one year. Last time I used it, it was about $30/year. It may have gone up since then.

SuperAntispyware - http://filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/

AVG Antispyware - http://filehippo.com/download_avg_antispyware/

Both free and top notch

Also if you don't have it already use SpywareBlaster - http://filehippo.com/download_spywareblaster/

As this issue has been discussed and most here are aware of it i'm un-stickying it to clear up the Sticky section of the V & S Forums...
