"Great Ad-Aware 2007 alternative"
Pros: I recently had some problems with updating Ad-Aware 2007 and I was looking for an alternative.
I used to use A-squared Free once, but on my old computer and it had issues with updating back then as well.
But now I reinstalled it and they seem to fixed the problems and now it works well.
So, it's a great alternative to Ad-Aware 2007
Cons: None whatsoever

Version: A-Squared 3
Pros: Yes, it does catch cookies but it doesn't bloat it's database with them. If you are looking for the best Anti-Trojan, then a-squared is it. It has almost 900,000 Trojans in it's database, and can detect even more with it's heuristics.
Cons: That people give bad reviews about it.

Version: A-Squared 3
Pros: A2 always finds a couple things that AdAware and Spybot miss,and no,they are not false positives. Yes it has a slow scan, but most users can be be doing something else on their pc while it is running. It is slow, just like your virus scan is slow,about 15 or 20 minutes, but you don't have to sit there and stare at it-do something else while it's running. Most the other reviewers gave it a low review because it's slow. It's FREE! I recommend A2 and give it 5 Stars and Two thumbs up!

"It's not only about catching cookies and spyware, but about Worm's !!!"
Pros: Well trying to figure out why in my PC with Windows 98 after i have started there was a lot hard disk activity going on, and though i had installed and scanned with AVG 7.5 i couldn't find nothing, so i though was a Defragment problem. I couldn't Defrag the Hard Disk. so i searched for a possible Malware and i found A-Squared as a option.
My surprise, was not a simple Malware, but a WORM.
I have a PC using Windows XP, which belongs to my home network and A-Squared found the same Worm, already attached to a Winamp install file and DixV i had downloaded a couple of weeks before.
I appreciated, because i didn't know where ws the problem.
