They have a new version, 4.6, that is avaiable for download. Get it here:http://www.lavasoft.de/aaw/

After running the new version, I had several more cookies that contain references to spy ware.

What I do to keep ad companies like DoubleClick at bay is to disable all cookies in IE's ‘Internet’ zone, set the ‘Trusted sites’ zone to medium security—the default for ‘Internet’ zone—and put the sites on which I want cookies enabled in the list of trusted sites. This lets me save my login for sites like this and Slashdot while preventing others from tracking me with cookies. :)

I keep having this cookie:
wathen@doubleclick[1].txt
So how would I add that to the security section (restricted sites)?
