I've been wondering if anyone has compared Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to Ad-Aware? I haven't seen anything on Google as far as a review goes.

I haven't seen any directly in English. Feel free to test it against some new malware.

From the times i've been using it while remotely working on users machines over VNC, I've found it detects a bit more and does a better job removing.

Yea, I've also found that MBAM has better-than-average detection rates.

LOL - A little hard at times convincing the wife that I'm putting all this junk on the PC on purpose. What with all the NSFW popups etc... ;)
