Ad-Aware 2007

With the retirement of Ad-Aware SE Personal (Free version), I downloaded the new Ad-Aware 2007 freeware. It's more bloated than the SE version and it takes about four times longer to scan than SE, but hey- it works and it's free!
Today, after getting the latest update, I got a pop-up out of my task bar letting me know that I could get the paid version of Ad-Aware 2007 for free, just by buying flowers for my valentine. And even after clicking on the red "X", the pop-up wouldn't go away until I finally closed the app. Hmmmm....
An annoying pop-up ad offering to give me a free gift and all I have to do is buy something first.

Ya know, it was the "free" version, but come on: It's an application whose sole purpose in life is to find and remove adware from computers. And it's serving up ads. At least it was, until I uninstalled it about ten seconds later. Just on principle. Hmmph.
You can download the new version of Spybot Search and Destroy for free here.
