    "Close to a trojan"

    July 22, 2012  |   By Eskrow

    Pros

    Absolutely nothing

    Cons

    Destroyed my system. It will change your system core without notification or choice. Very disappointed as I was a long time user of the old adaware. This is a completely different software which I can only describe as TROJAN

    Summary

    Stay away from this "software". Don't say you weren't warned.

    Dear Eskrow,

    Thank you for your post, unfortunately you are describing issues related to running Ad-Aware with another antivirus software already installed, Ad-Aware 10 is a full-fledged antivirus software and cannot be run alongside other antivirus software's. By end of August we will be releasing Ad-Aware 11 which will be compatible with other antivirus software's on the market, hopefully you will give Ad-Aware 11 another try once it comes out.

    Kind regards,
    Corina - Lavasoft support
