This is purely for entertainment purposes, but we fair very well with SAS right behind us and Ad-AWare & SpySweeper bring up the rear

Ever wondered what the internet thinks about.. let's say.. Barack Obama? The Financial Crisis? Global Warming? Paris Hilton? Dirty Laundry?

Well now you can find out and get the long-sought answers to your questions from this global inquiry tool. Whatdoestheinternetthink.net searches the internet for the global opinion on your search term: Positive, Negative or Ambivalent.

Hurrah!!

I used to use Ad-Aware (several years ago now), but then the updates stopped (I think they stopped supporting that version but I am not quite sure). I think there's a new free version out now, but, I have MBAM now, and the pro version at that, so I don't think I'll use AdAware anymore.

I love MBAM btw I haven't used any of the others other than AdAware though. I was thinking about SAS, but haven't tried it yet.

Not formal like the big guys do, but then again it's also not a controlled environment with old malware like those guys do. Oh and it's on a live machine, none of that VM ware stuff.

Ad-Aware and my xp notebook don't get along
