Be sure up to update your AdAware!

[Black Ace]

I just updated to the latest version, ran a scan, and it found the nasty HuntBar, which drives me nuts, since the old AdAware didn't do a good job at removing the little scum. My computer is faster and running much better now too.

Its free, and fast to download. So be sure to update yours or download it if you haven't already. *Just 1.6 MB*

Nice one! Found a dozen of those little blood suckers! Wish it was possible to sue the makers of these things. I swear its on borderline illegal.

Just the thing I needed, thanks. Stupid porn adds. :crazy:

[SpaceManSpiff]

Ya, tell me about it. You know when your surfing the web and your right click and that little menu pops up? well I somehow have an option there that says >>>free porn galleries<<<, I dont know how it got there and I cant take it off:crying:

[Sinful Sam]

Wow, that sucks. The one I had was a stupid add that would pop up automatically when I sign on the web. I?m not going to get into details but I?ll just say it involved animals.:crazy:

This just a slight update, released on July 14th. If you download before that, you might want to update to this.

Did anyone came accross HuntBar as well? TrafficSyndicated is responsible for that.

And make sure when its done scanning, anything other than cookies come up should be removed by checking the box on the left and click next to finished, since some people may not know that you have to select what to removed.

Either you copied that or you?re a phone sales man.

Now that we got that cleared, could you explain how it work like you would to someone whos computer knowledge ends to the fact that pretty lights will go on when you press that round button?

Its just like any other application. Download, install, run it, and you're all set. Just about every Internet surfer, you will get these unwanted trash leeched on your system. The easiest and best way to removed it is to run Adaware. :rolleyes:

Okay i have runned it, and now it says Scan Complete, and theres 192 new objects, and this red bug with black legs flashing next to it, what i do now?

If you had bother to read, I already gave instruction to that. Those are spyware, you need to check-mark the box on the left to all of them, you can ignored the cookies, after it is checked, click next and it will removed them. Some files required that all programs be exited to removed some files. It will tell you if you need to do so, and it will asked whether you'd like it to removed them on your next boot up, automatically.

Alert me if your PC runs faster and more stable afterward.
