Ad-Aware 2007 does not support Vista yet.

"Note: Ad-Aware 2007 is not Vista ready. All valid licenses will be upgraded to the Vista compatible version for free upon release."

Softpedia got the compatibility list wrong, I sent the request to change it and:

This is typical when the unsuspecting user, in this case tsilo acquires software from a non official site. We should produce a list of ten commandants or golden rules for tsilo and others: I'll start a list now. Someone will jump in and say that list is already in place, well where ever it is it wasn't visable enough to help tsilo out was it?

(1) always acquire software and updates direct from the vendor not via a 3rd party
(2) always double check product specifications so you don't find your PC can't run this or that product
(3) Always backup your PC before trialling a new product

Hey lodore you and I alone could make a list of the top 50 things right? Only 47 to go!;D

(4) try to use an complete uninstall program to monitor the installation example total uninstall.
(5) scan the download with your AV and antispyware scanners before you even think about installing it.
ill add some more later
