Hello,
So far I am not impressed with the new Ad-Aware program, after the first full scan the program found at least 9 false positives, mostly uninstaller files and a couple of .dll files that need to be left alone. What irks me the most is, even tough I refused permission through Scotty (WinPatrol)to be a start up program, it did anyway, and on my computer since it is a service, it was not in the start up list, so to stop it from booting up at start up, I had to go into Services and change "Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service" from automatic to manual. One other thing, I did not want the automatic weekly updates, I prefer to update these types of software manually, but even though I have refused permission several times to allow this, the program keeps on trying to run that file.
I have used Ad-Aware for years, one of the first anti malware programs I installed on my computer, it found hundreds if not thousands of nasties over those years, but I feel you have to have some measure of trust for these types of programs and this one has not measured up so far. Plus, I really dislike programs that do not accept NO! for a answer.
Anyway, have a good look at what the program finds before you remove anything.
Catch you later,
Barry
