This thing stinks to high Heaven. Adaware has taken a free program that worked well and was so fast and user friendly I would have been perfectly willing to pay for it, and COMPLETELY ruined it. I Can't see how some can write a favorable review of this extremely user unfriendly bloatware.
Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I think a superior product should get the job done without eating up valuable space AND be user friendly. This crap is none of the above.
Those Einstein-like geniuses who are convinced that everyone else is stupid and should remain silent until earning their doctorate in computer sciences need to keep their snide remarks to themselves too. The overwhelming adundance of bad reviews on this product speaks for itself. 1 star is really too much.

lukasavage / Das Mod: While the "review" article written by Betanews was not much in favor to the program, it doesn't justify "1" ratings.
Ahem... The program in this 2008 version aint that bad, if you consider it as PAYWARE and you actually get it full, just because of how wide it is.
Its indeed light and perfectly responsive, but it's dead slow for a full scan. I really disliked that it seems to have Ad-Watch free, but it doesnt!!!
v2007 has been treated to harshly by many jumpy users. And just get over it, software aint about lowest mem usage at all.

Just reading the Beta News official review of this product pretty much says it all. Ad Aware SE lost its glow the day it went commercial.

Excellent software and works very well. People need to learn how to use software before making bad reports about it here. half the problem is many do not read instructions or do not understand them, so give bad reports which is really sad. This software is one of the best, and if you do not understand it, do not make a bad report, get some help. Those as said here, who claim to be in the know but really don't know, should be silent and not make a report at all. It is sad when you think you know it all, and you know nothing!
