    Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

    Hi Bubba :)
    Having studied this file some more with a stop watch. There is a hang on this file only for about 2 minutes then it Carry's on and finishes OK. Maybe one of our expert code writers may be able to help us out as to why this file should cause ad-aware to play up in my case

    Strange indeed Nick and I reckon your one of the fortunate. Also....this is happening on a failry virgin install of WIn2K....it's also happening on wayyyyy more than normal PC's with various OS's being reported in many Forums. I also heard they had this problem with the German version 4 days ago. Hmmm

    Edit:

    That Netscape file has almost always caused a slight pause with my previous scans....even with the 1.03 version.

    What I noticed was that if I select processes and deep scan only....it finishes the processes and then locks up....apparently when it starts the deep scan routine while monitoring with Filemon & Regmon.

    I had about a thirty second hang at that same spot the first scan. I ran a second scan and it didn't hang that time.

    Hey guys. I just downloaded and installed Ad-Aware SE 1.04. No problems at all. Everything plays nice :) I'm running the free version on XP SP1. Downloaded from MajorGeeks.com.

    Before installing V.1.04, uninstall V1.03
    then everything will be fine. I have no
    problems with V1.04.

    1.04 works great on mine: xp pro

    i do not have xp sp2 installed (and have no plans to).
    perhaps that might be the problem.

    glad to see lavasoft keeping up.
