sammy,

there have been posts to this group in the past were the def files get
corrupted and cause adaware to run slowly. look in the achieves for the
steps to resolve the issue but, basically you delete the adaware def
files and download the current updates from lavasoft and the issue is
resolved. i had this issue once with version 1.06 se. deleting the def
files, then downloading the updates resolved the issue for me.

if your running the 2007 version, i cant help there. i currently still
running version 1.6 se.

again, check old posts, the issue has been discussed in the past.

hope this helps.
