    I would not download from the link above -- This is the correct site

    Ad-Aware @ Lavasoft - The Original Anti-Spyware Company - Lavasoft

    You never know what you're getting -- Some sites may download malware

    Ad-Aware does not block ads.

    I recommend using Firefox with the AdBlock Plus add-on.

    I also recommend running SpyBot S&D; it catches things missed by AdAware (and vice versa). AdAware and Spybot do not block valid popups by valid advertisers, true, but they can prevent your PC from getting spyware/adware infections that generate popups.
