1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, April 14, 2008

I have used the free version for the last three years and it worked great. It did the job searching for cookies, anomalies, etc., then deleting them. This new product is something else. It identifies the junk items but does not delete them. Yes, I have read the manual, gone on-line, etc. It was a waste of money. Nothing on Amazon, it is the product itself.

I had been using their free version for several years. Even though I uninstalled the free version, the Plus edition CD gave me nothing but trouble. Obviously, when you uninstall the prior version, pieces of it remain in the registry & I guess, elsewhere! For weeks, I went back and forth with them via email, and they finally told me that their new version was coming out, and to download it from their website. After uninstalling it again (for about the 7th time), I downloaded it from their site. This time, it installed, but still took me a couple of days to work out bugs. For example, you boot up, and find that the way you configured it disappeard, and it had to be reset a couple of different times. Next, the "Adwatch" was crazy. Once you activate it, you would get one alert after the other...at one point it said I had over 5,000 alerts!..I deactivated it, and will not dream of using it again. I don't use it on startup, and manually run scans at least once a week. I found that it conflicted with my Anti-Virus/Firewall/other Security configurations. I actually think their free version is better.
