New Ad-Aware 2007

Does the new format of Ad-Aware seem much slower than the older version?
When Performing Scan in Smart Scan mode, the Scan Process seems slower to
me. Maybe I just think it is.

Well, I guess you could say its "crawling" on mine too. I use to do a Smart
Scan in no time. Now, I have time to go get dinner, and when I come back it
may be finished...........no, not that slow, but it is v e r y slow.

Maybe there trying to discourage so many users. I know they have succeeded
