"v.9.6 is Great v.10 slowd my system I had to uninstall."
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10
Pros
Previous versions of Ad-Aware Free, have always helped keep my hubby's PC notebook system working smoothly, it's a dell with windows 7 and that is up to.. version 9.6. I've got a HP notebook with Vista and Ad-Aware Free version 9.6 and it works great! thanks Lavasoft!
Cons
But, when hubby updated to version 10, his dell PC notebook immediately after, kept freezing up and was unusable, until I uninstalled the latest version. I'm going to try to download version 9.6, if possible. I'm also getting update popups but I'm hesitant to update to version 10 on my HP notebook with Vista; I don't want the same problem and I don't know if I'll be able to go back to 9.6. It may be a memory issue I don't know but mine works with this earlier version and I don't want to play with that. Hopefully, I can put a working version back on my hubby's dell.

"New AdAware will kill your computer"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10
Pros
Nothing good about this version.
Cons
Same as other review, installed, and couldn't figure out what happened to my computer. Every mouse click literally took about 15-20 min to respond. System basically locked up. Almost ended reinstalling windows, though I had some real bad virus or trojan. Then I uninstalled Ad Aware, everything back to normal.
Summary
Absolutely do NOT update to new Ad-Aware Antivirus!!!!!!!!

"Not that impressed"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10
Pros
Easy setup, I liked the new look.
Cons
the next day, after install, it said expired. It wanted me to buy the paid version.
Summary
I wanted a longer trial period, I don't know how it works. I like the old Ad-aware, without antivirus it was flawless.

"EASY , EASY, EASY AND FREE"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10
Pros
>easy to navigate
>easy to update
>no hard settings
>launches early
>Great detectionCons
Minor obstacle but there isn't a scanning option when right clicking on the taskbar icon when Ad-Aware is minimized
Summary
nice new version. kinda cool that when you download the free version, you get a fully unlocked premium version with all the features for the first 30 days. After the 30 days expires, the premium version just reverts back to the free one. Makes me want to buy it just so I can keep all the cool premium features lol :-p
