What goes up must come down 2 stars by hrwasp (Read all my 48 reviews)
The once highly used software by college students has fallen. The interface is pretty good but not enough meat under the hood. The software just missed some obvious data-mining and tool bars that was installed on my test machine. showShow review details
Don't listen to the negative reviews 5 stars by desertjon (Read all my 12 reviews)
Don't listen to the bad reviews. This is a very good program with a very good reputation. I would be lost without Ad Aware. I have had every version installed and have never had any problems. The update downloads do not take forever unless you're maybe on a dial up system. I have only had 2 false positives and it did an excellent job of detecting the bad stuff and removing it.

No longer the best 1 stars by sazhazman (Read all my 26 reviews)
Years ago, this product was indispensable, I used to recommend it to anyone that had a spyware problem. But for the past year or two, scans took twice as long and returned false positives, typically system files. Pass on this product, others have left it far behind. showShow review details
