the page i looked at davidr had only 6 reviews on it for ad-aware 2007 not for the older personnel one
5 of the 6
wish they would of left the old version alone
Pros: This new version of adaware finds more spyware and adware then ever before. Prettier interface, More friendly, and it does the job for me
Cons: This version has a new bug. It deleted all my cookies without my knowledge. This has never happened before, with other versions of adaware. And I had to reenter all my passwords again My advice: Download at your own risk
I'll stick with the old version
Pros: It's probably great, but doesn't work on Vista.
Cons: Program crashes before you finish.
Good but still obtuse
Pros: Does a thorough scan of what are probably the most significant threat areas of my computer -- even on "quick scan." Somewhat nicer interface. It seems a bit faster than the previous version.
Cons: Threat descriptions are not helpful. AA found 2 registry entries flagged as "3" on their TAI scale. But gave no help as to what these were, why they were suspicious, etc. No help in the right-click menu either. It will catch numerous cookies, not all of them are threatening, however, so be careful what you delete (especially the 1st time -- mark your keepers on your ignore list).
Does not work on Vista.
Pros: I'm a big fan of Ad-Adare, but this one is not ready for prime time.
Cons: Does not work on Vista. Maybe it's not supposed to but I thought that was one of the goals. Scan runs but program terminates at end of scan before results can be reviewed. Also, when I uninstalled it, it completely REMOVED my paid Ad-Aware SE Plus that I had been running sucessfully for a year! THANKS LAVASOFT!
Pros: Great improvement on the interface and perfomance. I've notice that uses less system resources. I've always trusted AdAware to get the job done.
Cons: None so far!
