Yes, and no...... It does not remove ALL spyware, and there are very simple things which you can do so that even if you do have 'spy-ware' creeped into your machine, it will not be able to send any information out of your machine.

Also, it is not wise to simply install AdAware and then remove every file that appears after AdAware searches...... If you do not know what you are doing, you can easily delete H-Key files which are essential for running Windows.
Always do the 'back-up' until you have learned what is safe to delete and what is not.
AdAware is not without errors. It is also not invincible in it's detection abilities.

Go softly and carefully and remember that it is a simple matter of entering a text message into your Windows main folder to stop 99.9% of this garbage ever managing to send anything OUT from your machine.
THEY can hit you all they like, but you do not ever need to allow THEM to receive a reply from you.
