When I first installed the program, it found a virus that Webroot didn't find. I think the program would be good if I could actually get it to finish a scan without crashing every time. The interface is easy to use. I can't complete a virus scan. So far the company has been unresponsive to this issue. They ignore you unless you purchase a licensed version and charge $70 for technical help. Customer service sucks. Might be a good program if they fix the bug. Right now, if you have Windows XP, don't waste your time. If you have a problem, you're on your own. I'm amazed that they would release a new version with such a big problem. Apparently, they don't do much testing before releasing their upgrades. Bottom line: Crappy!

This is actually one of the lightest free av's and is sufficient for its price, just pair it with a good-great firewall, I prefer Privatefirewall and this combination is very light. If you have a problem w/ this setup it must be your PC. the very long install-sometimes you'd think it stalled - but just let it be.DO NOT touch it unless the installer tells you so. You have to be extremely patient during install. It is easy to go wrong during install which probably happened to some. For free this is already great protection w/out going over, what it lacks you can make up with by installing Privatefirewall which has behaviour blocking, HIPS(IDS) and registry protection. This is a very light combination which I use in an old PC from 1999 and it feels fast! Try this combination I'm using it myself. Just be VERY CAREFUL and PATIENT during the install of Ad-aware. Also just as backup on demand scanner download Malwarebytes, disable autorun, update windows and other software, do not use pirated progs or torrents and last but not least limit the websites you are visiting.(I might have missed some but I think ad-aware free and private firewall should cover it). Again, in case you have a prob with this combo then most probably there must be something already wrong w/ ur PC, if this is the case then its best to reinstall/repair windows first before installing Ad-aware and Privatefirewall.

I use this program in a chat room with video. Love to post animation. I have had no problems with it. Love this program, if you want to post pics in a vid this is the one I would recommend.

It used to be the best but I am very disappointed with their new engine Upgraded to the Pro for $10 and it became worse. Shut down adaware and then took it off my system.Tried to stop it running on startup where the CPU started responding and then started adaware back up where it froze up the CPU again. Stay away for the time being until they fix the product ... do not pay anything at this time

on this new version, absolutely nothing as stated previously, this program is now adware. they advertise their paid version not through the programs window, but through pop-ups! i had software in the past it tried to remove because of this, and now they are doing the same thing?! i had used this product for over a year now, but after downloading this new version and getting the pop-ups, i uninstalled it. also, after uninstalling it, my software on my computer runs much faster, due to the fact that i don't have this resource hog running in the background. looks like it's time for us to move onto new anti-adware,spyware, etc., software...

Scheduling scans is a big improvement and works out much better for me None at this time I download updates on a daily basis. Being able to see the improvements in your software continually has certainly pleased me to no end. Thanks...

Easy to install ; easy to use. Nothing to report. A long time used of this and I use very frequently too. Simple and innovative. Got used to the previous interface (skin) and the new one looks a bit 'odd'. That is minor and one can overcome.

It graphs in real time, each second's upload and download. The graph represents the relative sizes, but the numbers below the graph changes each second to tell you the amount of throughput. You can tell exactly what is coming in or going out. Too many security programs report this as unnecessary, possibly dangerous software, and tries to remove it. I have to keep restsrting it. I love knowing what is going on. What I hate the most about any computer is when it refuses to do as I want, and does not tell me why.
