Ad-aware 6.0 and Winsock stack problem

This is a heads-up about Ad-Aware v6.0

There appears to be problems with Ad-Aware removing spyware/foistware that alters the Winsock "stack ", like Commonname, Webhancer, or New.Net.

To see the thread in the Lavasoft version 6.0 Forum, go here http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?act=ST&f=24&t=3825&

Thanks for the heads up Charles

I am surprised and discouraged in Lavasoft especially by this issue.

Because that was an old problem with ver 5. makes me think all Lavasoft did was put a pretty XP style face on old 5.8.

I stress to everyone always, always run SpyBot twice before Adaware even if Adaware 6.0.
