"STILL CHECKING"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Internet Security 8.3.1
Pros
It was eay to download.
Cons
I have a previous version on my computer that was supposed to be uninstalled. We used every method we knew, uninstall, add-remove programs, and even that clean program, but it still remains there and won't let us remove it or upgrade it.
Summary
We just cannot uninstall the previous version to install this version. We are stuck with a broken version on the computer and cannot take it off or load the new version.
