<p>It looks to work well, it even detects some adware that <a href="http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/">adaware</a> didn&#8217;t remove.</p>
<p>It is said by many people that using more than one anti-adware program is the best way for they all don&#8217;t catch everything. Joel suggests <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2005/02/17.html">why Microsoft Anti Spyware wouldn&#8217;t catch everything</a>: conflicts of interest.</p>
<p>A lot of money is made by redistributing spyware/adaware/malware on people&#8217;s computers. They could easily bribe some anti-adware software developers to ignore their adware.</p>
<p>I just got to find an anti-adware program that is proffesional enough to clean my computer, and isn&#8217;t bribed to leave some.</p>
<p>The problem is that there are a lot of anti-adware programs, most of them are adware themselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C8F904E1-B4CA-402B-ACCF-AAA2BD60DA74&#038;displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C8F904E1-B4CA-402B-ACCF-AAA2BD60DA74&#038;displaylang=en</a></p>
<p>When having Avalon installed it adds a few new project templates to my Visual C# 2005 express, with which avalon applications can be made. Avalon is a Window system which uses xml files to define a form. At the moment I couldn&#8217;t find a designer neither reference to it in the help files and assume it isn&#8217;t implemented yet, which is rather a pain for creating a form by editing Xml by hand is just a pain: Xml is hard to write and I am just too dependant on the user friendlyness of the form designer.</p>
<p>When compiling Avalon generates classes and serialized data files in your application to replace the Xml files.</p>
<p>So what does it basicly do? Lets you design your forms easily (although there isn&#8217;t a proper designer yet) maintaining a good performance by replacing the slow Xml files by generated classes and serialized resources compile-time.<br />
Having a few test applications decompiled and having looked at the sdk it seems that Avalon can do practicly the same as the current Windows.Forms dll.<br />
So now I wonder, in what way would Avalon be better than using the great current form designer and the Windows.Forms dll?</p>
