    I tried the free version and ad-aware 2007 is a slow, fat bloated, resource heavy spyware program that does very little good. It use to be a good program until Ad-Aware 2007 came along. How's this, you want to update your spyware program. No problem you also get language packs along with the update whether you want them or not.

    Try Spyware Terminator instead. It's also free and a better choice. ;)

    Use SUPERantispyware in place of Ad-aware. SAS is considered to be the best freeware antimalware scanner.

    I had a really terrible experience with spyware terminator, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

    I would get Supeantispyware and or a squared

    Ugh Ad-Aware... I'm using Spyware Terminator, it's free and has real-time protection. SUPERantispyware is nice but no real-time protection.
