lol I like this new version, it got rid of 450 pieces of spyware on a guy's computer I used it on, the old one only got like 300 on his computer usually (he has little brothers that are the dumbest computer users ever, using IE w/o a blocker, and with access to WinMX.. enough said)

Only found a tracking cookie and a file in AOL 8.

Total of 750 on two computers you used it on, I am amazed, you must of visited some sites beginning with P & W I guess.

Is this new verison worth downloading?

 

[Lee]

It's worth it, it's slow and really for advanced users. Read everything it picks up as you might delete something that 'bust' and application you have.

 

[Tittles]

ok...thanks. Prob will download it tomorrow or tonight

 

[wadada]

lol allready a new build 1.02 now

 

[Kush]

damn lol

 

[Lee]

I found a new version at downloads.com on front page, majorgeeks even though say 1.02 it's giving you 1.01 still so be careful.

The skins look good as well, the gold one is great.

 

[Kush]

skins wow didnt see that

 

[dreamliner77]

I dunno, i just want it to get rid of spy/adware, I could care less what it looks like...

Lee is right, on that note if you also use for instance spywareblaster from javacool or a host file blocker ad-aware will detect the redirected host 127.0.0 port as being "infected" make sure you read everything in the help files

Ditto Perris,

Impressed with it so far, though I have to say, they had better find a more efficent way of doing the next upgrade.

The lessons from A-Aware 6 were not taken onboard and chaos reigned yet again.

The support staff are working their cotton socks, a big pat on the back to them all

 

[wadada]

yeah me got the professional one also now, me like too have adwatch running on the background always, oh and me like the gray skin

I have tried Ad-aware pro for a few days now and I have to say I quite like the SE edition. No more problems with the "now you see it, now you don't" bug, it actually seems to run slightly faster on my system than before and it appears to be more thorough.

The one thing I would be interested in testing is deliberately infecting (after making a system restore point) my system with the coolweb adware to see how the new version deals with it. Or has someone else been crazy enough to try this already?

One thing I will say is that you will need to use the pro / plus download link you were sent by lavasoft to the pro / plus versions whenever ad-aware reports a new version (like 1.01 and 1.02 etc)

I also have to say it would be nice if they had kept the right click select all this type in the registry entries menu as well as displaying in another tab all the registry ad-aware detected as I went to that menu and found it had changed. No biggie though.

 

[Lee]

They have to add a function that not only allows .ref updates and program updates via the same method.

 

[Tittles]

i might have to give this program a try...i keep holding off to download it but i hear good things so i guess i will download it.
