I'm a long time user of AA and my experience is that the update server
has been "unavailable" for awhile. Last Friday I was able to get the
update so maybe things are getting better...hope so.

Lavasoft these days -- SNAFU !

The site is UP again !

I have a feeling the Lavasoft is past their peak and their software is falling behind others
(like SuperAntiSpyWare) and is losing its importantance. There seems to be a coporate
problem that is getting in the way of their initial capabilities and thus have reduced their
and their product's effectiveness.

Is SuperAntiSpyWare safe?

Thanks Dave,
I've run it and it seems OK, but slow.
