"Works OK but is buggy on full scan"
Version: Ad-Aware 8.2 Definition File 0032.0000
Pros
Works OK when it works - i.e. Smart Scan....
Cons
Latest definition file and version upgrade left me locked up HARD after trying a Full Scan. Don't rely on this program for full spyware protection, either - SpyBot will always find some malware it missed. Verdict: either new "bugfix" version 7.0.2.5 or definition file 32.000 is buggy and WILL lock you up in Full Scan mode.

"Extremely Slow On Full Scan..good gawd!"
Version: Ad-Aware 8.2 Definition File 0018.0000
Pros
I recently installed the 2007 version on a spanking brand new computer after uninstalling all the excess cr-p (games, software sales pitches, etc) that came with it. 2007 ran so s-l-o-w that I finally fell asleep, so I can imagine how slow it would be on my other pc & lap w/ all the files I have. This morn., 4 hrs. later I woke up to the alarm sound letting me know it was done w/ the full scan. I decided to try a "smart scan" before uninstalling my fav spyware remover
:( and it only took a few minutes!
Cons
Seems it would be somewhat complicated for the average user in comparison to the SE Personal version. I liked it waaaay better when it was simple, light & lightning fast. I don't advise a full deep scan while you're doing work on your computer. It also slowed my pc down! Surprisingly, after years of using the SE Personal I still ended up having to go to the instructions to figure out how to use & clean the new 2007. It did catch 73 objects.
