Default SP2 - no new spyware detected

I must have run Adaware 5 days ago. No, more than that even - right before
I installed SP2. I usually run it every couple of days. Now that I have
SP2 installed, I ran Adaware just now after a files update to it, and 0
spyware was detected.. That is a first. Is SP2 responsible for this? or
is Adaware broken ??

Unusual. Did you update definitions? Which version of Adaware do you
have installed?

Now that you mention it, same here. Ad-Aware SE (Defs SE1R8) and haven't
shown a thing for days, not even a tracking cookie which I used to get all
the time. Strange!

I have run it on my machine and had it show up the odd item, and on a
friends where it showed several. You maybe have been surfing very
cautiously :-)

You should make sure you get the latest update to version 1.05

Yes I had just updated the definitions right before I ran it. But false
alarm, I just ran it again a minute ago, and all is back to normal - 17
objects found...
