Advantages: Cleans your comp., Free, Stops companies taking advantage

Disadvantages: None

Ad aware is a nifty little program that can be downloaded onto your computer, and when run will check your entire hard disk for ?Spare? references.

***WHAT IS SPY WARE? ***

Spyware are files which secretly uses your internet connection to download banner-ads or send various user data to an companies server - with or without knowledge of the you the user. Its completely out of you hand and you may not know it?s even there.

These companies build user profiles for statistical data, or they sell it to third parties to do target advertising; there collecting information about your computer usage; I maybe like you don?t like people spying on me, school, go on get get.

I don?t like people getting info from my computer, luckily there?s a solution. That is to get ad-aware installed on your computer. Every single information retrieval packages on you computer will be found out and destroyed, just what I like a nice clean system.

***SUMMERY***

The release of such an important piece of software is vital when our computers are being abused in such a way, its our computer, we choice who has access.

Its does what it is supposed to do quickly and easlily; if you don't like it just uninstall it, its as simple as that, it's just nice to check whether someones taking info from your computer once and a while.
Ad-aware is available from uaualy any pc downloads site including http://www.ad-aware.com (and yes this is the wright link) ; its worth getting, YOU DON?T KNOW WHO?S WHATCHING

It's a good review but you need to watch out for those spelling mistakes. I sugget you use a word processor to write your ops then run the spell checker on it to correct any mistakes or just re-read your ops after writing them.

umm agreeing with wampyrii and marandina, plus a spell check might be worth doing as people do rate you lower if you mis-spell stuff..!

Sounds like a good idea although you're review is a bit brief ;O)
