It finds anything running, and get regular udates from a secure site. The software costs about 40 bucks at future shop, and is one of the top rated spyware software removers on the market. Just keep looking for one that has a key in it. When you download it, open it by clicking on the zip file. this will open it like a regular file, but will not extract everything. There will be a text file. Click on that, and look for a liscense, that should be something like ANDS-LDSI-LNFI-LNOS. Write this down and unzip the file. Click on the setup file, or spysweeper.exe, or however they set it up, and when the prompt comes up for that serial, type it in. If it's good, it will tell you when the subscription expires. If it's bad, just remove the program, and try a different download. May take a couple tries, but when you find a good one, you can delete ad aware, or any other free trials. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never use a different spyware program. And it will alert you if it detects a threat that it doesn't recognize, and will prompt you to report it. Just don't report it. The next update you receive will have this alert built into it, and will remove it.
