Just some information I read on Majorgeeks.com on Lavasofts Ad-Aware and thought it was important to share.Anti-spyware company Lavasoft AB is now owned by a set of online entrepreneurs who have been linked with misleading websites.

Thanks Keeper :)
Ad-aware has been a tool of the past for quite a while and it's not really recommended to have it running at all.

The same can be said for Lava Soft in general...

Have not used Ad Aware or Spysweeper in years. They proved some time ago not to be dependable.
