Version: Ad-Aware 2008 7.1.0.8
"It's ok on my Vista ultimate system."
Pros: Though I can't speak for anyone else, this app seems to be fine on my Vista system. Scans as fast as any other of it's kind, looks great, updates often even though it as to be done manually. I really like the counters, time, path and item so it's fun to watch it. Just installed it a few days ago and I've only had one of what could be called a false positive on a website that I feel is clean, so I set it to ignore, (easy enough to do). Now that the auto updating & add watch have been removed, it's much better then the 2007 version. Might be some haven't really given it a chance after last years garbage program.
Cons: I can't complain about it as a backup scanner. It seems to compliment my paid program well. It took them way to long to get this all worked out but it seems much better now.

Many of you have read my rants and know that I'm not exactly a big Microsoft fan. I use Windows XP for the odd game here and there but by and large most of my daily tasks are performed using Ubuntu Linux. I will not perform a feature-by-feature comparison between Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu however. I'm going to treat this as a rant like any other, with largely the same criteria I use for other operating systems.

Well, I'm assuming you have nothing more than a buggy cart for your OS? You're just sad... judging people like that. At least I don't use a infected, old buggy cart like yours. Your mom, is more like a SOB if you ask me.

Free Software! Well Mr. shockwavesn1per, I do not for one second. What I think is, you use illegal, cracked app's. Either that, or your just a plain old cheap S.O.B!

You smoking crack?! I never was talking to you. Well, I don't give a cr*p about your Vista. Vista blows. I run XP, way more faster than Vista. Like I said Vista blows. No one gives a dam* about Vista. It's so friggin' tedious.
