Adaware & RadioSure

[HLaB]

For over a month I've been using a program called RadioSure, then a few days ago it decided it was a Trojan and disabled it. After a bit of searching on the web it seems like false positives and Adaware are quite common. I found a quite a few threads on this particular program (RadioSure) being identified as a false positive. I wanted to confirm but emails to Lavasoft have bounced back and their Forum looks dead (last post 17 Jan by their admim, to get a post by somebody else you have to go back quite a bit further. Despite this I tried registering with their forum and despite my details being correct and it saying I've been successful, no actual confirmation email has arrived to let me post. On the other hand the radio sure forum is buzzing (post are very recent).

Has anybody used RadioSure ? I quite liked the program so I'm thinking of un-installing Adaware and downloading Malwarebites to see if it identifies it as a Trojan too; if not I'll reinstall RadioSure. Is that a wise thing to do?

Isn't Ad Aware still an 'on demand' scanner rather than 'real time protection' (I haven't used it for a long while). If so, I don't see any issue having both installed at the same time. AntiVirus scanners can conflict because they are continuously monitoring the thngs reading & writing to the hard disk, but anti malware pograms seem to co-exist ok.

SpyBot Search and Destroy is another worth having if you need to double check for false positives, but malwarebytes first.

Adaware claims to offer on line protection 'Live Watch', it does appears so, it suddenly gives an annoying pop up Trojan warning about RadioSure.

As I thought, Malwarebites has picked up nothing an McAwfee has picked up nothing too, I think I'll try Spy bot and if its still negative uninstall Adaware and reinstall RadioSure.
