Once upon a time I used Ad-Aware, but I stopped when I started reading bad things about the company. Perhaps that no longer applies. I know you would like details as to what I had heard, but I no longer remember well enough to want to say. Maybe someone else would like to give us an update about that?

Ad-aware isn't even on the giveaway site :confused:

This website is not something that I would recommend using, as it advertise giveaways from other website and in this process it requests your email. Why is that need it??

Example:
Giveaway: Battlefield 3
Original giveaway page: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/buy/battlefield-3/pc-download/base-game/standard-edition

Sharewareonsale.com giveaway page: http://sharewareonsale.com/s/ea-battlefield-sale

Please note that this giveaway was not hosted by sharewareonsale.com, and in the redirect process they have requested my email. I would avoid this website.

I like SOS. I've gotten a lot of good stuff from than, and I find Ashraf trustworthy. Their offerings are typically 24 hours in duration, so their emails are daily. If I lose interest in them and don't want to hear from them daily, there is the Unsubscribe line to click on.

Yes however their are many that dont know this or even bother to look past the download link.

SOS is taking a giveaway from somewhere else,without posting the original giveaway link,and then requiring you to enter your email address to be redirected to a page with the same information and links as the original giveaway.
It is one thing if the original giveaway or software vendor requires an email but it is another if it appears that you are running the giveaway and you are asking for emails.I dont really want to brand them as spammers but it is the principle of this that is a little bit of a problem
