    Unhappy No Sound due to NoAdware 4???

    Hi I downloaded the latest NoAdware 4 and did a scan and it came up with about 15 items.I followed instuctions and removed the items then I found I could not get any sound from my computer when I played Real Player or Windows Media Payer.
    I then did a system restore to before I installed NoAdaware 4 and everything is ok
    Is this a problem with this Programme? I have been using Ad-Aware SE without any problem (regularly updated).
    Also I use CWS Shredder and NoAdware showed a CWS item that CWS Shredder did not list Iam using the latest CWS Shredder any theories.
    Regards

    You will never see NoAdware recommended by an ASAP spyware fighter because such a tool has no exceptional or redeeming qualities. Futhermore, such a vendor (and their affiliates) could revert back to their very suspect history at any point:

    http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
    Note on NoAdware: NoAdware was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives and the use of aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2, 3) including exploitation of the name "ad-aware" (1). Earlier versions of NoAdware were also the same underlying application as Adware Hitman, Consumer Identity, Protect Your Identity, SpyBan, SpywareAssassin, Spyware C.O.P., SpywareKilla, The Adware Hunter, & TheSpywareKiller. Over the past few months, NoAdware has taken aggressive steps to reign in its affiliates (who were primarily responsible for the unsavory advertising) and released a new version of NoAdware (version 3.0) that addresses our concerns with false positves. Given these changes we can no longer regard NoAdware as "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware.
    Domains: no-adware.com, noadware.biz, noadware.net, no-adware.net

    (Note: other domains associated with NoAdware include: adware-free-download.com, adawareinfo.com, adwarenomore.net, adware-real-free-scan.com, adware-removal.biz, adwareremoval.net, free-adware-remover.org, free-adware-removal.net, free-adware-remover.org, free-adware-scan.com, free-spyware-check.com, nomorespyware.net, online-spybot-scan.com, spybotfinder.com, spyware-destruction.com, the-spyware-adware-remover.com, thespywarepros.com) [A: 6-26-04 / U: 11-17-04]

    Always use reliable and trusted applications recommended in a forum such as this. NoAdware simply does not make the short list worthy of consideration (see below). Such aggressively promoted tools are often more optics than substance.
