Version: Ad-Aware 2007 7.0.2.1
"Compatible with "Vista"? So they say!"
Pros: I'm glad I tried this install on my virtual drive because it gave me fatal error then blue screened my "Vista Home Premium" operating system during install. If they think this is ready for "Vista 32 bit", they are wrong again. It's "B-S" and thats all there is to it. "Lavasoft", who was once respected security software company is taking a big backwards slide. I will never attempt to install it on a "vista" system again. It does look to have a nice GUI but sense I can't seem to use it no matter how hard I try,I really can't say for sure. I agree with some of the others, if you want a great, free malware scanner that works flawlessly with "Vista", get "a-squared 3".
Cons: It's still full of bugs and they can't seem to get rid of ad-watch even in the free version. For those running an "XP" system, it might be OK but it's starting to look bad for those of us using "Vista".

I still have the installer for the last release of "AdAware SE Personnel". It does run fine on "Vista" and the last time I looked (about a month ago) they were still issuing updates for it. If you want to use that and can't find it on line (I'm not sure if it's still available), leave me an email address and I will email you the installer.
