Editors’ Review

Download.com staffDecember 5, 2008

This spyware remover constantly monitors your PC for spyware and scans on demand. The utility is easy to use and doesn't consume much memory, but it has a restricted base of spyware definitions. As a result, it didn't detect all the installed malicious programs in our testing, including eZula and MyWay. Adware Agent offers the option to remove detected programs or to put them on the Ignore list. You can neither see nor edit the list afterward, however, and the trial version doesn't actually let you delete the found items. The program also doesn't reveal the exact list of blocked spyware it uses. Home users can download the software to see how it compares to their current adware removal programs.

It runs.

Has trouble detecting several key products, database is flawed (Probably stolen), and program eats up tons of resources. This program also did not uninstall properly.

Did not work, would not exit either when I told it to and clicked OK on the confirmation dialogue box. Support also failed to respond to my e-mails. Do NOT download this app.
Crashes for no reason.

Summary
When first starting it before getting to far it detected something on it's black list, but unfortunately it locks up not allowing anything else. At that point I had to kill it. Besides everything it does is handled in other more stable products. Not recommended.
a must have!

Developer’s Description

By Killersoftware

Prevent adware and spyware programs from installing on your system.

Adware Agent is a Windows product for monitoring and protecting your PC from those annoying spyware/adware/worm-infused programs that run on your PC without your knowledge. These programs can send your browsing history back to their companies, slow down your Internet connection, send spam, and even slow down your PC. Adware Agent will prevent more than 320 spyware ActiveX Controls from installing on your Internet Explorer browser. It also blocks more than 30 Browser Helper Objects, but it cannot remove any adware or spyware until registered.
