Anybody have any issues with Ad-aware SE?

I have not downloaded Ad-aware SE yet, I am always a bit hesitant to get new programs, I am going to get it soon, but was wondering if anyone was having any problems with it? I heard that it detected a vital part of Firefox as spyware but that has been fixed in the newest release (1.02), I have also heard of it detecting some other false positives. I plan to scan with 6 one final time then uninstall 6, install and scan with SE to see if it picks up anything new that 6 was not finding, anyone finding that SE picks up a lot of new things?

 

I installed SE yesterday, and I use Firefox on Win2k pro. I've had no problems whatsoever with the new Ad-Aware. No false positives, nothing new detected either. It seems to me like it might be scanning faster - but I don't time these things so I might be imagining that.

 

I also have Ad-aware SE v 1.01 and Firefox 0.9.3 and no false positives here.

Detox, i would agree with you Ad-aware seems to scan MUCH faster, and i do sorta time these things.

 

hi
i believe the new version is alot improved--seems that way to me.i havent had but one small prob.--sometimes it takes a long time to delete but it does detect numerous new things
have a good day

Excellent, no probs so far so good. Ad-aware's scanning speed is a bit faster in this SE version. Thumbs up for lavasoft! A job well done!

 

I've had no problems with Build 1.02. I know of one problem with Build 1.01, however, where a scan trashed a user's copy of Mozilla (here).

 

No problems or false positives here as well. Using FF 0.9.3 and XP Home.

 

same here

 

Version 1.01 produced some false positives in my host files, but 1.02 corrected this.
No more problems here.

 

I've never encountered any problem with Ad-aware since Build 6.0. 181.

I have also had Ad-aware SE Build 1.01 ... then now Build 1.02.

I have other anti-softwares working along side Ad-aware SE 1.02.

No problem whatsoever.

But but but ... be very very careful of what you delete from Ad-aware's detection.

Especially if the detection prove to be those nasties that hook on to root keys or reg keys.

Save a copy (quarantine it ... only learned this lately) if you intend to delete them. I deleted some nasties that hook on to my Win2K Reg Keys ... and my root keys ... resulted in non-workable IE6.0 and can even click link on certain websites.

So there you go ... apart from that everything seems fine.

 

Today I went ahead and uninstalled 6 and installed SE, so far so good. My first scan did not find anything new, which is not surprising considering my browsing habits. I like the new interface; it’s only changed a bit but looks for current. Basically it’s the same Ad-Aware that I know and love, but with a better scanning engine and such. Anyone who is on the fence like I was should go ahead and get it.

 

SE Plus runs like a fine Swiss watch!

 

Ad-aware SE is a do-it-all, swiss army knife like program.

 

With version 1.03 no issues at all and running fast.

 

Yes. Ad-aware SE had a false positive on a Mozilla dll module. After it deleted the module I had to reinstall Mozilla.
