Version: Adware Away 2.2.8.8
Pros: The scan was quick and lets you scan all types of nasties that get into your system.
Cons: Has a very small list of stuff it can scan for...the scan does seem too fast for it to be actually scanning your system...hopefully they are working on a bigger better version.

Version: Adware Away 2.2.8.8
"This is the best product to date for removing about:blank"
Pros: The interface is simple, the scan is the fastest I have seen to date and it was the only program to remove about:blank after trying just about everything in the market with no success. If you have had nightmares with about:blank look no further, this is the program for you.

Version: Adware Away 2.2.8.8
Pros: None
Cons: I have Windows 2000. This program took a suspiciously long time to install. Then it scanned my default 30g hard drive in less than 60 sec. and found 0 spyware. There was no option to scan my storage hard drive. You have to email your log results to them. Then they will email you a fix to copy and paste into the program. You have to do this with the paid version as well. What a PAIN! Just another waste of time program!!

Version: Adware Away 2.2.8.8
"It may work, but not as advertised"
Pros: Easy to use and understand with very fast scan function.
Cons: Do not use this product to remove "About:Blank" Hijacker.
Not only did it not remove it from my computer, as stated, but the scan couldn't even find the hijacker program on my PC.
I found this a waste of time and I'm glad that I was able to realise that it couldn't remove my problem before I subscribed to it.
Seems to advertise as an "About:Blank" remover, to tempt customers, like myself.

Version: Adware Away 2.2.8.8
"Agree that it is only one to remove About:Blank"
Pros: I used Spybot, Adaware, Hijack This, and a host of other applications, but this is the only one that saved my explorer homepage! I mostly use Firefox, but for those times when explorer is necessary, I don't want to see About:Blank!
Cons: None, if you want to get rid of About:Blank. Not appropriate as a stand-alone spyware protection program.
