What was in the articel?

I recommend every pc newbie to install this & norton antivirus to keep their pc running properly. Adware is a kick *** program in my humble opinion..

The program is no longer being updated to handle new spyware targets. In fact, I feel that it is necessary to recommend to everyone that they simply remove Ad-aware version 5 entirely. Using it in its current, unupdated form can be, and has been proven to be dangerous

because the program doesn't get any updates, it can remove regkeys/files that are not ads at all, thereby corrupting the OS & programs that use these files
