Adware and spyware aren't the same thing. Adware get rid of the pop-up banners that are generated due to your surfing preferences and spyware tends to send somebody personal information about yourself, i.e., keystroke loggers, bank accounts numbers, passwords and the like.oneilcrowley2000 wrote:IS adware a spyware remover???

Plus, being able to open links in a new tab by just clicking on them with the middel mouse button is sooooooo convenient for forums and news sites.sundaymorningstaple wrote: And Firefox is not secure either but moreso than windoze. I am also a firm believer of firefox. Currently using Firefox/1.5.0.4.Love the tabbed browsing with 5 expat forums for homepages!
When in doubt try both. Everybody has their preferences based on their own surfing habits. If you are inclined to click on banners and whatnot out of curiosity then the more the better. Another option that I have used in the past is the HOST file.oneilcrowley2000 wrote:SO that means if I have ad-aware I still need spybot???
