Hi,

"If it's not finding critical objects, that's a good thing."

My problem is that I have deliberately visited websites that I know install critical tracking items which Ad-Aware has always found, but it doesn't "find" them anymore. And this sudden change happened right after the SD download, so I'm blaming them. I can't believe these websites have stopped depositing their tracking cookies. It's almost as if the critical function itself was "rewritten" to ignore items. I'm positive that, right now, if Ad-Aware was functioning properly, it would find perhaps 20-30 critical items.

At any rate, thank you very much for all your help, and I'll try to post on the Lavasoft forums.
