Lavasoft now charging for Adaware.

I have been using Adaware as one of my defences against irritating software ever since the adware/malware problem appeared several years ago. Originally it was free, but I forked out a one off fee to get the Adaware SE package which included its continuous on line blocker, Adwatch. This meant that neither adaware or spybot had much if any work to do when I ran them. Over the last six months or so, Lavasoft have been generating much hype about their soon to be released new version of their adaware programme. Of course, for them, the most improtant feature of this new software is to ensure you pay a yearly licence fee to keep it up to date!
I am glad that I have kept my concience clear by making a small contribution to spybot now and then which I hope will remain free. Has anybody got any other suggestions for malware removal and protection systems which are free to replace lavasoft's.
