Possible 1.04 AdAware problem (freezing)

Just wanted to alert you, many people are reporting that the new Adaware version 1.04, released today, is freezing up systems during a scan.

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Yes Rita, it is always recommended to uninstall old version first.

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

I just scanned using the latest version, no problems at all! Wow!

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

I had no problems either just run the new version

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

No freezing here (running SE Plus on XP SP2).

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Same here.

Win2K SP4

As normal practice
1)un-installed previous build(1.03)
2)re-booted
3)installed new build(1.04)
4)ran smart system scan and full system scan

each time it has hung at that key....software\microsoft\windows\current version\policies\system....Objects scanned 16097

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Hmm... no problems for me. 1.04 (SE Personal) runs fine with no freezes.

It's running on Win XP (SP2)

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Update:

un-installed 1.04....rebooted....installed 1.03 and downloaded\applied ONLY the new definition updates. All scans finished without a hitch.

SE1R7 06.09.2004....New definition file for Ad-Aware SE

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Hey Nick,

All of those mirrors have been tried in various other Forums but I'll only speak for myself when I say....I have downloaded from all three of the MajorGeeks links and they all give same result....hung scan.

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Hi Folks

I have just downloaded Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.04. from MajorGeek.com about 20 mins ago.

Then I did a Full System Scan and Custom Scan and both went alright.

But before I installed it I followed these steps:

1) Uninstalled SE Personal 1.03.
2) Reboot.
3) Disabled Prevx.
4) Installed SE Peronal 1.04.
5) Customised Ad-Adware SE Personal 1.04.
6) Reboot
7) Prevx automatically enabled.
Full System Scan. (no problem)
9) Custom Scan (no problem)

So there you go ... I am Not on Win XP SP2 btw.

Hope Ad-aware sort out the problem or vice versa.

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Hey Bubba,

Just out of curiosity, are u running the free version or the paid version?

As i posted, i have Ad-aware Plus on XP home, SP1.

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

Free version for me Snowbound since I only have it installed for troubleshooting purposes such as this.

 

Re: Possible 1.04 AdAware problem

ok thanks,

thought there might be a clue here as to the problem but obviously not....
