Cannot Install Ad-Aware?

[tomteeth]

Hello: I had this for probably 5 years and this is the first time this has happened. I cannot install ad-aware Please see attachement for Error message and if anyone can tell me what it means?
I am Administrator and the only one that use's this pc.

Dont know if this has anything to do with it or not, but I just did a system recovery and put SP3 on the pc for the first time! Please let me know what you think and Thanks, Tom

tomteeth, I believe many Wilders members (myself included) have uninstalled Ad-Aware due to the program not keeping up with current threats, so your best bet might be to post your issue in their FORUM (http://www.lavasoftsupport.com) if you need fast help.

Your screen capture shows quite a lot of open software operating in the background and that could interfere with the installation process as well. Here's a pinned post about their Install Guide for Ad-Aware 2008 (http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=19003) from their forum.

I was having trouble with the forum, it stated I was not registered, when In fact I register a couple of years ago atleast.
Anyway, I think you guys are right, but what is a good alternative? Thanks

SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html)

Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php)

Firebytes beat me to it and yes, these 2 are the ones. They are updated daily and both will handle today's threats!
Do follow the Ad-Aware uninstall instructions on the post I gave you.
