    it probably has the odd signature for it, but if they had a special module for it like avast has the gmer technology etc, then they would probably be boasting it on their site...

    yep if you view features it has rootkit removal.
    here
    i think it might be worth a shot alongside an av.

    Look at this: Ad-Aware AE has a better cleanup rating than Kaspersky and Norton?

    Maybe it's time to install Ad-Aware again? :p

    yeh seen it, its more propaganda bs imo, they probs used 100 samples that lavasoft knew they could cleanup really well, its like kaspersky refering to those tests they came top in, but they sponsor that company, so its rubbish, i would go by av-comparatives or other well known independant tests.
    a2 have test results on their page showing they have the best results in the world and all....
