Problems with AdAware 2007

[Al]

I'm have problems with AA2007. Is the new AA2008 any better, or is it just
change for the sake of change? I have found AA2007 full of bugs. It
frequently doesn't complete the scan. It doesn't always work when it comes
to downloading updates. It never report a "critical" infection. I can't
use the quaranteen feature for whatever infections it does report. The
former AdAware SE was better. Will I be wasting my time downloading the new
free AA2008?

Yes, the new version is much better. I had some of the same problems
with 2007.

Yes, but how long before it goes belly up like all the previous versions?

I have uninstalled AdAware (and Spybot S&D) after many years of frustration.
I use AVG 8.00free version, Spywareblaster and Win Patrol.

Hi Al,

I installed AA2008 free afternoon and let it get all of the
updates. Then I ran a full scan and found that it froze after
30 seconds checking the file inprocserver32. After 5 minutes of
nothing happening I had to use task manager to stop the process,
aawservice.exe from memory, which was running at 50% utilization.

I tried a couple more times with the same result and then gave
up, deleted AA2008 and re-installed AA2007 free. I ran AA2007 to
see if it was also affected but it ran to completion with no
problems.

Your mileage may vary but I plan on staying with AA2007 free.
