Like you I found Adaware 2007 as rubbish. I switched to SUPAR
AntiSpyware Free edition there may be other out there. I also
dumped Zone Alarm as my firewall due become bloatted ware (44meg) and
switch to Comodo Firewall Pro as for antivirous I use Avast 4.8 home.
I do not like the so call suit I prefere to use dedicated software.
