Hey all,
I used to use Ad-Watch, with comes with Ad-Aware pro, and it actually worked really well for blocking tracking cookies in real-time.
However, I haven't used it in a while, and am currently running Prevx1, which only blocks malware (a bit different than spyware).
So, is there anything better than Ad-Watch? I heard it's not even supported anyway, so is it even still "working"? If so, should I revert back to using it, along with Prevx1 and ZA?
Like I said, I purposely used IE for a long time to test Ad-Watch, and all those damn tracking cookies that you'd usually only find with a scan, were blocked completely in real-time, and I was never once hit with a tracking cookie.
Amazed me, actually, but I don't know how "up-to-date" and "usable" Ad-Watch is today, because this is going back a year or two.
Any info is appreciated.
Cheers.
