Bargainbuddy was a FALSE POSITIVE and in the meantime there was already last week a revised update. Get the latest ad aware update and you should be fine.

Try this one...
by Uncle Buck - 9/26/06 9:55 AM In reply to: good adware program???? by laniraeSpycatcher Express by Tenebril. This is their freeware version of a very good anti-spyware solution.
http://www.tenebril.com/
When I first tested SpyCatcher I had some problems with system performance and contacted customer service. The service I received was first class. The problem is this, you cannot use any other anti-spyware on the system or SpyCatcher does not get installed correctly. So I removed all other anti-spyware applications and reinstalled SpyCatcher, it works absolutely beautiful.
One thing I have found though is that when you install software I prefer to shut down the protector if it's a commercial retail product. What happens is that SpyCatcher flags a hook into the system when you are installing software. It does generate a popup that asks your permission and how to handle the install. It allows you to permit an install for a user selected period of time. By default it will block and you have to select the amount of time to allow and click a radio button to allow it. If you do not answer the question correctly it will mess up the install and SpyCatcher will continue to block that portion of the software. I had to do a system restore to install a software package that I did not answer the question correctly. It's a bit of a nuisance but it is for your protection.
Spybot S + D
by robnan - 9/28/06 7:54 AM In reply to: good adware program???? by laniraeYou should definitely try Spybot Search and Destroy. Google, and a small download. Very good at blocking spyware and removing it if it does worm it's way through.
Norton = crap
SpyDoctor = crap
AdAware = good
McAfee = very good
Spywareblaster = good
