I hope you all know that there are 3 downloads you need off that site.
1. Ad aware
2. Ref file- known spyware
3. Ref file update= updates ref file

Now I have ad-aware but what is the purpose of the ref files?

All you need is the ref updater and make sure you direct it to Ad Aware under the preferences so that it will update Ad Aware properly. The ref updates are like virus defintions, there is new spyware coming out all the time and this will keep you up to date to protect you from the new spyware.

That's what the ref updater does...... update Ad Aware to the latest ref file. The ref file that you download from Ad Aware is just the latest one that's all.

Do you guys know of any spyware programs other than ad-aware? I loved opt-out and since gone ad-aware is good but just takes so damn long to finish............what else is out there?

Right, that's just the latest file....... the same thing that the ref updater does, but the ref updater will put it directly into Ad Aware..... no point in doing both.

Wait a minute, you post all these apps that cost money.... things you can do for FREE and you want to bust my balls over this??? He asked for an app and I suggested one, it finds more than just spyware. It's just a suggestion...... take it or leave it.
