    "The 2007 edition is HORRIBLE!"

    August 1, 2007  |   By Dannie002

    Pros

    I like the fact that I can now watch Ad-Aware 2007 crash and burn! YAY (sarcasm)

    Cons

    The update manager needs to be fired (get! manager...fired...not funny? okay). The update manager just plain ol' doesn't work. The scan did pick up something BUT i couldn't delete it porque when it asked me to create a backup for the registry files, the "set" button was hidden under the text telling me to press it..... WHAT??? And now you have to pay for customizing the scans which I'll make clear my emotions by saying "it sucks major booty".

    And the BLOAT! I thought I was bad after a slice of pizza plagued with pepper. I have NOTHING on this 2007 download. 17.32 MB? I got a couple of programs you have to pay to use, that you can easily get free by other programs offered on CNET and a lousy spyware protection program that can't even update itself properly. I think you it rock bottom when the actual program you intended to download isn't the one taking up most of the download space. *shakes head in shame*

    I'd like to wait it out to see if Lavasoft issues updates to resolve the MANY bugs, but with the update manager down, I don't see that happening.

    WHY O WHY lavasoft did you disgrace ad-aware so with this new edition?
