adrian2055 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) As I was downloading the latest update for ad-aware se pro today I read on their site that they are going to stop giving definition updates for the program at the end of the month :http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/company/blogThe only solution is to upgrade. Now, I've tried the latest free version of their program on my new laptop and it always freezes and I have to restart it. Keep in mind...these are my specs:Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition SP1 64-Bit Version2.00 GHz AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 Dual-Core Processor1MB L2 Cache4 GB RamNVIDIA GeForce 8200M (Up to 895MB Video Memory)250GB Hard Drive (5400RPM)SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support15.6" Diagonal High Definition HP BrightView Display (1366x768)56k modemNIntegrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN802.11b/g WLAN 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader There's no reason this pc should freeze up and it only freezes with the latest version. The one time it didn't freeze up it took over 7 hours to scan my pc. Ad-Aware Se scanned my pc in 30 minutes and found more spyware than the latest version. So It looks like I'm gonna have to switch before the end of the month . Can anyone recommed a good program?

Ponch Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Most popular alternative is "Spybot Search & Destroy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I use the following: Gmer & MalwareBytes. But I don't keep these programs installed on a system ever, but only use them if I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
