    I recently went through the same problems a lot of other people are having getting rid of "SpywareNo!" detected by AdAware SE.
    I had downloaded and installed a program called "MB-Ruler" from PCWorld
    and that's when "SpywareNo!" showed up in AdAware's scan.
    I followed all the instructions here and on other forums trying to rid myself of this persistent pest...to no avail.
    I never located any of the files that should have been present and I finally uninstalled MB-Ruler. Presto! No more "SpywareNo!"
    I emailed PCWorld about this problem and they said they carefully checkout programs before listing them and suggested it may have been a "mistake" made by my antispyware program.
    My HJT log showed nothing out of the ordinary.
    I'm inclined to believe this may be a false positive in AdAware SE.
    Just a thought.

    Sounds like a false positive.

    Thank You for your reply!
    I was beginning to think I was "losing it".
    I hope Lavasoft will correct this problem soon.
    I really liked the MB-Ruler program I uninstalled because of this!
