Please can you tell me site that has spyware.I use ad-watch for first time but want to test it and can’t find any.(But ad-watch have to be able to detect it) ???
Or better if there is some kind os test?
As you should know by now, we do not give, send or direct people to malware here.
Well i asked for test too
Or better if there is some kind os test?
Have you not tried a search using google?
However I doubt that there is much in the way of harmless test malware (no eicar test virus type).
I hope you have your back-up strategy in place before contemplating this, a minimum before trying anything like this would be a HDD image (IMHO).
Since this is an addition to Ad-Aware by lavasoft you can be reasonably sure it should be at least as good as ad-aware, but nothing is 100%.
I know it’s not really a test but you can try to install some software and see that Ad-watch will detect the startup item (if any). 8)
Before the new definition file yesterday i was using definitions from16.02.2005 and no spyware was found.Today i updated the definitions and 6 were found.Ad-watch was running.
But when i run icq it popups and says that icq wants to change regystrys.Looks like i have to make a rule :

No,not when installing ICQ.When running it.And when i boot and the system starts ICQ wanted to delete Some registry.But I’ve make rule.But i don’t see the use of ad-watch.The last time when i was running win 98 it didn’t detect anything and my PC was full with spyware(i deleted The spyware every day but ad-watch didn’t told me anything)Today i deleted 6 registry that ad-watch didn’t detect.Is this OK or its not working properly
