7.0.1.5 (Jul 10, 2007)
I always used a stand-alone version of Ad-Aware 6 in complement of Spybot to clean PCs. Just a very efficient tool, and nothing in the background.
I don't want to use an anti-spyware's realtime protection (slow, intrusive, conflicts with av and other anti-spywares ...), and Ad-Aware 2007 doesn't give me the choice.
Plus, Ad-Aware 2007 comments some lines of the hosts file (http://www.hostsfile.info/):
#AAW 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
#AAW 127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com
#AAW 127.0.0.1 media.fastclick.net
#AAW 127.0.0.1 spd.atdmt.com

@johnusa : anwser to photonboy's post instead of a stupid copy-paste of your precedent post.
I dont know if you are right or wrong about this memory slot arror, but its is not enough to say "it is buggy" and give a 1.
CPU-Z, like PC Wizard, is the best freeware of this category

@cyberia : this report of your AV is obviously a false positive.
Spamihilator & Spampal are the best anti-spam solutions for a home computer.
A good plugin for Spamihilator is DNSBL 0.8, with xbl.spamhaus.org

>100Mo for a P2P in the background is not reasonable (if you have the same for IMs + AV + FW + .. -> lol)
Lots of useless icons, too much useless things often called "professional" ...
One word : bloated.
