When I tried it once it scanned my system well enough but it wouldn’t do anything to help it then after, and each scan I made with other software it would come back saying Lavasoft is malicious.

This wasn’t a collision between programs either.

Various forums I have seen posts made saying they are malicious, others say they aren’t.

Make sure that you have it setup to remove not quarantine the items. Make sure that it is updated to current version also. You also have to select remove all when it has finished scanning otherwise it will not remove anything. Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for that, I was just trying to find out about Ad-Aware though, but I’ll try that program. :D

I did.

Is there another product on the internet bearing the same name? Ad-Aware SE or something or is that still Lavasoft?

I don’t like it anyway.
You need a really good system to be able to use it on, the majority of the time it just lags your computer, even when on a slow scan.

I use AdAware all the time and have never had trouble with it.
All spyware programs will find things which others miss, but AdAware seems to get most.

AVG is a decent antivirus. It’s caught everything that’s come my way

Comodo is a good firewall.

Once you set up your computer with antivirus and firewall, go and visit

to make sure your computer is secure.

I use AVG, too, and it’s really good.
