error message: couldn't load resource manager
« on: August 17, 2010, 04:49:20 AM »
I would like to figure out how to fix a problem with my spy ware remover since I updated Avast.
I use Ad Aware and the error message reads "Couldn't load resource manager"
Thank you, TJWilden

  • If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0

I can't help with AdAware, sorry, long story short, I found the program started to become quite buggy and bloated about 3 years ago, so removed it, never to be seen again.

What I can suggest is to use something a bit better, lighter, and problem free, like MBAM or SAS. Both these programs are often suggested here, and other security forums.
Both work in a similar manner to AdAware (but better, IMO) and both have free versions that are full-featured, payment secures resident protection. I find that last not to be necessary.

I agree with the statement Tarq57 made as well.  A more updated software like the ones mentioned (MBAM or SAS) can be used as on-demand and are much lighter weight and work very well with Avast.

You can download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (MBAM) free from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/.

You can download SuperantiSpyware (SAS) from here http://www.superantispyware.com/.

Remember to uninstall Ad Aware per the vendor's instructions first, then reboot prior to installing MBAM or SAS.  Please let us know if you have any further questions.  Thank you.
