    "Slowing down my computer"

    July 27, 2012  |   By GJRuijg

    Pros

    Not enough

    Cons

    Slowing down my computer.
    I don't see a possibility to delay the actions of Ad_Aware.
    I used it as secundary scanner, but in the last release it wants to force me to remove my primary scanner before it will proceed installing, and I won't do that.

    Summary

    Removed!

    Dear GJRuijg,

    Thank you for your post. Unfortunately Ad-Aware 10 is a fully-fledged antivirus/antimalware software and cannot be run alongside other AV software's. We will be releasing Ad-Aware 11 in November which will be compatible with other AV as you will be able to choose what functions to download.

    Kind regards,
    Corina - Lavasoft support
