Ad Aware 1.06 Build 1610 Problems ?

[Hard Rocker]

Hi,

Are there any known issues with the latest Ad Aware Version 1.06 .... Build 1610 ? I would like to download the upgrade but I'm also concerned about any problems or " bugs " that might exist with the program at this point in time.

I downloaded it as soon as it was available and have had no problems so far.

seems superior to 1.05 so far. Faster anyway!

Thanks for the info guys ..... so I guess it's NOT like the latest version of SpySweeper !!

I'll certainly download it soon.

Hi,

I installed the new 1.06 version last night and so far it is performing extremely well !!

The only problem I had .... was uninstalling the previous version.

For some strange reason when I removed it from the Add / Remove Programs location .... it did NOT uninstall the 1.05 version.

I removed all of the folders manually & had no problem installing the newer version .... mind you .... but I'm wondering if by doing this I have left some kind of mess within the registry.

Thoughts anyone ?

Hard Rocker,

When I uninstalled 1.05, I rebooted. Then I ran RegSeeker which did find entries for AdAware within the registry. I removed them all, rebooted, and then installed 1.06.

No probs as of yet.

I had problems uninstalling 1.05 from my computer - could not open install log. I tried to install it again and it told me 'removing old' etc went to uninstall same error. I think there must have been a log corruption as all was not removed last time.

I had to manually find and remove Ad-aware as I think this 'bug' which was in v6 of Ad-aware was due to an over the top install which must not have registered my other version correctly, similar to Hard Rocker.

I am now in the situation that I don't know if I should install the new version or not as I do not want the same issue as I had yesterday I have cleaned manually and also used my Reg. cleaner and hope everything will go fine now.

Spybot uninstalled/installed fine it was only when I tried Ad-aware next I had problems. I have MSBAS plus Spybot as scanners (av/at etc) and also have SpyBlocker & Stopper so would only use Ad-aware as previously for scanning.

I hope a clean install would not have any uninstall issues next time. I have never had spyware as I am careful but as soon as I would decide not to install something would be there the others miss maybe attempt my install now I have read this post.

Good Luck Robyn ........ let us know what happens !!

I think this means I will have to try my install (which I have been putting off ) I did have Ad-aware Plus but stopped using Ad-watch so I think I will just install the free version this time rather than having Ad-watch sitting doing nothing. I will post back 'if' I install over the weekend (maybe sooner than I thought )

Hi,

I have Ad Aware SE Plus as well & I do NOT like Ad- Watch !!

In fact I haven't touched it since the new install ....... it still shows Ad-Watch status as ...... not available. Each time I had tried fooling around with it previously ( with 1.05 ) it seemed to cause issues with other PC monitoring programs I have running.

Take it easy for now,

I went through the struggle to reinstall Zero Spyware
Antivir Heuristics did not like the downloader
Ran a Scan- found four "unknown objects"
The earthlink execuitable, AV signature file, Rundll32, etc
were not flagged in RED- just as unknown- I ignored

Now Ad-Aware 1.06
15 Critical objects found
Zero Spyware TAC 3

Remember!
Removing Zero-Spyware with ad-aware can permanetly corrupt your system!

I do recall reading ( in another forum ) about the Ad Aware / Zero Spyware issue. Very scary !!

If I remember correctly what happens is ..... when both programs are installed on a PC ..... Ad Aware detects the Zero Spyware uninstaller as malware and if any steps are taken with Ad Aware ..... it then corrupts the Zero Spyware uninstaller.

Then if an attempt to uninstall Zero Spyware is launched ..... Zero Spyware begins deleting Windows Files instead of itself.

Therefore, as Wyrmrider has stated the PC in question becomes permanently corrupted !!!!!

VERRY CORRECT

Zero-spyware was to have corrected their installer/ uninstaller but I have not verified- I'm not that brave- anyone know

but there are lot's of old zero-spyware users out there waiting to get bit by this conflict

Ad-Aware has been Aware of this problem since ver 1.04 or almost a year
why no fix?

wyrmrider

btw
on this test zero-spyware found some remanents of bonzi buddy and a couple of other real things

no trace of my nemesis ---DAP
