Reviewing Anniversary Edition 8.0.0.0 (May 7, 2009)
I was tryn to update my old version and found out its over...and so is this product. I did uninstall but not able to load new one[xppro] so I went to START>RUN>REGEDIT>FIND>AD AWARE...found some still hanging around in registry>removed it...installed and then I read the forum and then everything that you have found on here was to late. I normally review something and let it simmer for a while. But I was O.K. with this eariler product and ran with it. I got rid of AVG on my other PC went/w AVIRA. bEEN VERY HAPPY. Also run THREAT FIRE. This combo is on my 2 other PCs and reviewed it before I loaded them...the combo is easy and works fine. Only thing is pop up which if you want you can trn off...JUST SAY NO to Ad-Aware!

This review covers the interface, not any internal scanning capabilities.
Text in the GUI looks washed-out and blurry. Of course they are using all custom controls, so forget about using keyboard shortcuts like Tab or Escape. Is the whole thing just a giant clickable bitmap? How about rescinning regular Windows instead of going back to the year 2000 when owner-draw controls were The Sh*t, and everyone had to have their cool rounded button?

Unfortunately, I'm not happy with this program as it seems to become more bloated overtime. A common problem with many program, indeed. Anyway it install some background services that start up with your computer. That just pisses me off.

Really nice that you now don't have to be running a service all the time now!!
Just open services.msc and find Lavasoft Service, then change start type to Manual. Then it will work just like Ad-Aware SE did. PERFECT!!
After scanning just right click the tray application and select Exit Ad-Aware :D
Thanks again for this!
