Hi all. It seems that the page referred to(http://home.cyberarmy.com/acecww/advert.txt) concerning the AllAdvantage advert.dll files may be a false report. Steve Gibson of Gibson Research has informed me (via one of the GRC NGs) that the text is a direct copy of the original FUD report about the Aureate 'spyware' dll that was included in earlier versions of advertising supported software. If this is correct, then it could be a case of someone who was caught out by AA attempting to get some sort of bad publicity happening for AA. When I receive the details from GRC, I'll let you know. Cheers, Gryph

It is also in common shareware and commercial application. I have seen it in other commercial applications. It is usually embedded in programs. You can download an ad-aware program (Ad-aware v3.61) from the freeware section of http://www.lavasoft.de/.
