Cheers,
I`ve been checking everyday. just kept saying `released Feb..`

Oh Well, here are the results of the South East London Jury.

Running Adaware 5.83 on my C: drive yielded

9 suspect cookies.

Running Adaware 6 on the same drive subsequently yielded

1 suspect dialer object in my registry
a further 67 dodgy cookies.

About bloody time it was released. Mayhap that will stop those wretched EBay popups

:-)

Goddam gator on my system, i take it this means when you uninstall divx player their adware DOESN`T `automatically uninstall` like they say, no big suprise is it?!

Cheers for the heads up :-)

Confused now...I have installed the latest version, great, happy with etc. I use NTL and have their broadband homepage set as my homepage. Before I started looking on the web this evening I scanned and Adaware found and removed 4 offending items. I have just re-scanned and after only reading the forums on this site have found the following
...[at]hcetda, ...[at]kaertseulb, ...[at]kcilcelbuod & ...[at].xelpaidem these are classed by Adaware as dataminers but I can`t figure out where I got them from, any ideas??

adtech, ...[at]kaertseulb, ...[at]kcilcelbuod & ...[at]xelpaidem

they are all cookies from ad companies, you get the cookie from ad images that on webpages.

I believe there is a way of barring cookies from those websites being written to your hard drive, but i`ll be buggered if I can remember what it is...

If you`re using IE6, go to Tools/Internet Oprions/Privacy/Advanced and set both of the options there to "prompt" (so a little box comes up where you can block or allow the cookie) but tick "always allow session IDs" so that you don`t have to log in to your favourite websites each time you visit :-)

Thanks very much for the info fellers, much appreciated.
