Improvements:

• Disk-scan is approximately 30 % faster
• CSI scan is now more efficient
• Added "Scan for low risk threats" option, to scan for targets with low TAC index
• Ad-Watch CSI engine performance highly improved; using less CPU and Memory as
well as having a smaller footprint
• GUI adapted to use the new TAC
Important corrections:
• Freezing during scan (occurring on some systems) now corrected
• Combination of the +silent and +update command line parameters no longer
prevents scan completion

preferences window.

definition file is changed or updated in Ad-Aware

Minor corrections:

• Average TAC rating for content detected during scan added to the scan-summary page
• Reghance related context menu options in Result and MRU list now updated if status of
Reghance installation is modified in the Preferences.

• "Vendor" replaced by "Name" (result, ignore and statistic-lists)
• Tooltip for negligible objects now displayed as "MRU"
• Items in ignore and scan-result list now coloured according to their risk level (*)
• TAC rating added to object details (log file)
• TAC rating added to Statistic, Result, and Ignorelist tooltip's
• "Remove" button on ignore-list screen now deactivated if no objects are selected
• Numeric TAC index shown in the statistic list
• Number of Quarantine archives now updated after scan (without opening quarantine
tab)
• Below/Above normal priority classes now correctly logged during memory scan
• "Clear" Button and related context menu option disabled if no statistics have been
created

Thanks Dog and Abnormal. Have either of you noticed any difference in the scan speed? If anything, mine seems to take longer to run a full scan; just wondering if you noticed the same.

Take care; have a great Memorial Day holiday.

Hi Chunko; how have you been? Yes, mine here is taking quite a bit longer for the full scan. Of course there are many more definitions so that will account for some of it maybe; but it really is taking much longer though.
I usually go for a coffee break during the scan, lol...I can't stand waiting/watching it as it takes too long.

Take care Chunko...

Full custom scan is definitely longer. Haven't used the other scans before so I can't compare.

Cheers

Hi;
Just wondering, do you have to uninstall the previous version before installing this one?
Thanks!

I'm sure its recommended but have heard of others here not uninstalling and having no issues.That was with past releases though.
I would uninstall just to be on the safe side.
