    From the home page ~ 'Hard Disk 300 MB free space recommended'

    Ridiculous size, was good some years ago now bloated & not particularly good ~ Mbam wipes the floor with it.

    Reviewing 9.6 (Nov 5, 2011)

    Version 9.6 with ad watch live and browser watch and toolbar is a disaster on XP running IE8. Open in new tab command takes five minutes to open the page, then opens it in a new window instead. It slows all pages from opening, even in same window/tab to the point where you have to think the browser has crashed/frozen. And to add insult to injury, this latest trash version does not allow you to disable or remove the ad watch live feature. Once AdAware 9.6 is uninstalled, all browsing returns to normal. This app is as bad or worse than a virus infection.

    Reviewing 9.5 (Sep 1, 2011)

    It WAS a good tool back when i used Windows 2000. Remember all the plugins you could download. Remove alt datastreams and so on. Today, a complete waste of time... Version 6 is the best, the rest is crap.....
