Can someone tell me about Lavasoft Ad-ware 6? What does it do and how to use it?

Is Spybot search and destroy do the same thing as Ad-ware? Should I use both?

Each is an excellent program, highly recommended, and stable. Each will catch a few things that the other misses and there's no hard in installing them both.

I should have said this, to be more clear:
Ad-Aware and Spybot do basically the same thing - searching the computer for installed Spyware and deleting it.

I just used AD-Ware and I think because I use AOL it must have messed it up. It might have removed something from AOL to cause my IE not to work and I lost some programs too. I got everything to work again after awhile but does anyone have any thoughts about this?

That is possible. When setting up Adaware, look at the options. You can quarantine things without deleting them.

Searched MS KB and found this XP Document Number 811259. Performed the WINSOCK repair section and now am back up and running. It worked even though I am running Win98 on that computer.
AOL has a lot of proprietary software and functions, and it is possible some were seen as threats and removed, or they were "attached" somehow to the threat and corrupted during removal.
