Hi all,
I just went to a technician to sort out my computer problems.
He said
1 Ad-aware is for handling adware while Spy Bot is for handling Spyware and does not detect adware. That I should run Ad-aware to get rid of adware, the presence of which will slow my computer down (a problem I am having).
My understanding:
has always been that both programs handle both spyware and adware, that I could choose either and I use Spybot.
He said:
2 That my version of Spybot is the free one and as such only scans the C drive that only the paid for version scans other drives.
My understanding:
There is only one version and it it free, while donations are welcome no payment is required for Spybot and that the only version is a full version.
(I also figure that while spy and adware would almost always only be found on the C drive, Spybot would scan all drives.)
Thanks a lot
