Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.1.5
"Not Impressed it's a piece of Crap."
Pros: I was a user of Ad-Aware SE & I decided to upgrade to 2007 which was a mistake to say the least.
Cons: O,K where do I start I could not activate the software & when I did I could not even access the features I was entitled to such as real time protection & there are bugs in relation to the update manager plus the interface is not that special, If you are using a older version of this software stay with it for as long as possible as I have had to go back to using my previous version & get a re-fund for this piece of crap.

Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.1.5
Pros: the scan times are as fast as a f1 racing car, same nice GUI..
still just as easy to use..updates ok
Cons: BLOAT BLOAT BLOAT NEARLY 18MB DOWNLOAD. (for a free scanner)
all this BLOAT IS for people to pay for the plus or pro version..
Lavasoft there are many people who just want an on demand scanner for free..
i have gone back to the old SE VER i suggest you all do the same .. dark troll has got the details if you cant get it..

Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.1.5
"Works Well With Windows XPSP2"
Pros: From a quick look I can conclude the following: easy to install and easy to uninstall. The new scan engine searches every file thoroughly. No problems or errors found. The grafical user interface looks clean.
Cons: Ad-Aware 2007 has far less spyware definitions than AVG Anti-Spyware and a-squared Free: it has only about a tenth of the last two programs. With the free edition of Ad-Aware 2007 real-time protection is off and automatic updates are off.

Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.1.5
"If only it worked, what happpened?"
Pros: I used and greatly respected former versions of this software. I was excited about the release of the new upgrade, however..............
Cons: If your going to place a disabled piece of software on my hard drive you needed bother. This version of Ad Aware looses contact with the scan server and every time I go for a full scan or any other the software shuts down with an error message. I have tried to delete and download again and I get the same results. Lavasoft didn't do their home work on this one, and it's such a disappointment.

Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.1.5
Pros: Potentially this program could be sorted out and be back up there where it's been for so long, there being towards the top of the of anti-adware applications
Cons: This version seems to have too many bugs in it still to be a full release. At first I found 2007 to be fine, slower than SE, but it did it's job as far as I could tell, I was puzzled why other people were finding problems with it, after a definitions update though it all went downhill. I still don't think all of the bugs have been sorted out, I'll stick with SE for as long as it takes for lavasoft to sort it out properly, this product has been one of my favourite anti-malware applications for some time, it's a shame that this new version is not up to scratch.
I wrote a review for a previous release of 2007, this disappeared along with a lot of other ones, funnily it says here 'See all 33 reviews'!! Click on it and there were only 6 reviews!!! Were they negative reviews??!!
