I run the free version of Ad Aware and also Spy Bot, and they seem to find the same products every time such as "DSO Exploit", "Advertising.com" etc.
I do not know anyone with the Pro Version of Ad Aware so thought I would ask my question here.
Does the Pro version block these things before they install on the computer?
Thanks
If it does not do that, I cannot see any reason to buy something that already works well except for blocking these nuisances.

SpywareBlaster is what will stop most junk from installing into your pc. Have you updated to the newest version of Spybot? That DSO Exploit is a false bug; don't worry about it.....but the newest version of Spybot fixes that bug so install the new version.
I never had that Adaware Pro so I can't comment on that. I use Adaware SE, and it works well for me.
Hope this helps a bit...

I have the Pro version and it has AD Watch and Proc Watch, etc. included. Bit more complicated then the other version of Pro was. If it's okay, I can email you what it's about and you can see if it does what you want.
I will do it tomorrow as I am a bit tired right now.
