I am using ad-aware for past 3 years and also I have never read anything about it coming with spyware. I have so far have found it completely safe. Unless someone has any other info.

I have been looking for articles on this and found nothing. Is my mind failing in my old age? Does anyone know what I am talking about and perhaps has a link to an article from a news site?
