I have had AdAware installed over 1 year now and have kept it updated, but did a fresh install of xp and downloaded the Ad Aware program the new 2007 one and I am not too crazy about the way it loads, it is in my Services running and seems to be constantly on in the background, is their a way to prevent this, or is there a link to the older Ad Aware that does not load when windows turns on?

If your not happy with Ad-aware 2007 you can still download Adaware se from oldapps.com http://www.oldapps.com/ Microsoft, where quality is job 1.1. ~Author Unknown

If you have the free version, they have just changed that. If you have the paid version, you have full realtime protection. Open Ad-Aware & click on > Ad-Watch. To please you all, we have removed the icon from the icon tray. It will only show during a scheduled activity. That means, Free version users will not see this icon. Please download the latest update using our update manager. http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/inde... If you you still have it running as a Service after a reboot. Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Double click on Ad-Aware & change it to Manual.

Thanks that is whant I want to do is install the old Ad Aware, I have the freeware and do not like it starting at boot up.

Pistal, you can find adaware se at: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Intern... I too do not particularly like the new 2007 version. Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!
