Has anyone else noticed after getting a update from adaware and running a scan that it will always pick up atleast one new object? I keep my system free of spyware but when I download a new update it always finds just one. I believe adware just puts a new object on the list the first time. I really dont believe I always have the file every time that it just happens to find after a update. This has happened every update for as long as I can remember!

next time a update is ready do a scan then update then run scan again to check, I think I will do that just to see.

Actually, I always run Crap Cleaner before any scans and there are only 3 negligable objects in the adaware scan

Strange subject line!
I've never had it happen to me. I always Update manually and then run the scan straight afterwards. I'm certain Ad-Aware are not into deliberate false positives.
Come back sometime before this post becomes read-only (they last at least a month) with the file name it is querying.
If you are really getting malware (of a new type) each time you run after Ad-Aware Updates then you have some sort of security problem.
