Ken:

Thanks!

Makes you wonder why they have to release so many versions all within a month of each other.

The GD thing freezes during a scan. I have installed twice.

Uninstalled 1.3, download 1.4 stalls, uninstalled 1.4 downloaded it again stalls . Downloaded 1.3 runs ok

Keep On Keeping On

Lavasoft is starting to chap my ass.

Same here , installed 1.04 , scan hangs and can't be canceled Uninstalled and installed again . Hangs again ! will uninstall !
reinstalled the old 1.03 version , runs well but will not update the new ref file

Jane

No problem running V1.04 here.

Just for the heck of it, I downloaded 1.04. I uninstalled 1.03 and installed 1.04. It doesn't stall for me during a scan with default settings.

Same here but I was able to update the reference file.



System Specs

RB , I tried to update the latest ref file . seems to be downloading but when I check it doesn't show . Only shows SE1R6 30.08.2004 . I just went to Lavasoft and thought I would manually install the last ref file. But it states that is is for AdAware 1.04 only
So how did you update yours ?

Strange. I updated the reference file when I reinstalled 1.3 and it got the newest file.



System Specs

Thanks RB I did the same but it didn't work for me . However , the new version 1.04 is now fixed and working well !

Jane

Yes. All fixed now. I used the second MajorGeeks mirror.

Given the problems here, I cancelled the download. I can wait.

Uninstalled old- installed new- ran scan -no problems.
I must be livin' right.

Download works fine from betanews.com Installed 1.04 and ran a system scan: no problems here.

I updated to 1.04 on two Win 2K and one XP Pro machines today. No problems on any of them.

Installed 1.04 and have just done full system scan twice with no problems. I downloaded from the second of the three sites listed and am using Win98se.

Are all the people with problems using XP, have they installed the latest SP2, perhaps that's the cause?

edit: there are some people on the Ad-aware forum complaining about similar problems. http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showforum=61

I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 so it is not a SP2 problem for me. I downloaded from MajorGeeks so I wonder if that could be the problem?



System Specs

Don't think so because when I mentioned that I downloaded from the second site, I meant on MajorGeeks.

this is where mine hangs ! won't try to install again, till something is done . I have SP2 installed .
LilJoe , where did you download from ? I downloaded from Majorgeeks , the first one .

I hang in the same place and downloaded from the same link.



System Specs

Same problem at the same place. Also had to use Ctr.,Alt., Del. to close program.
Running XPPro with XP2.
Un-installed, deleted all Lavasoft files using Search, reinstalled at Majorgeeks 1. Did the same all over again, reinstalled at Majorgeeks 2. Same results.

Steve

I grabbed the second link at Major Geeks thinking the first would be busy.
Then when Eric chimed in I went to betanews on another computer and got it from there also.
Everything ok here.

Edit: try the second site at Majors

LilJoe

Thanks
there are already few people at Lavasoft forum , having the same problem @ the same spot !

Jane

Tried several different download sites, uninstalled 1.03, installed 1.04, five different times, hung in same spot as others. XP Home/Sp2.

On my W2000/sp4, downloaded and installed from #2 Major Geeks, ran Smart Scan, no problems.

Is it just XP that is having the problems? Went back to Download.com and downloaded 1.03, installed, updated and ran, no problems.

Whoa!!!!

I downloaded 1.03 from this link:
http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

When it installed, I ignored the new version update but let it install the updates for 1.03, then did a full scan.

Wow, 104,362 files scanned(1 object found), fonts turned green several times during scan.

This is definitely not the same 1.03 that I un-installed earlier.

Steve

This is the second time with MajorGeeks having a problem with an AdAware download. Could the problem be with MajorGeeks?

Nope...I've downloaded from several different locations. It still freezes.

Darren http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11260174~mode=flat~start=60#end

I downloaded again and installed , my scan is running right now !
Scan finished on both comps , no problem this time

Jane

Had to uninstall 1.04, made my system hang.

Acadia

EDIT: It is hanging at the exact same spot that the others have shown.

Just to confirm the trend, my brother downloaded from Maj Geeks mirror #2 and installed the program. It hangs early in the scan. This is with a Windows 98 SE system.

No problems here. Followed advice during set-up and let it uninstall the old version, then let it continue and complete a full scan of my system where it found three things to delete. Have run it again with no problems. Running Win XP Pro SP1.

Edit: I did set a system restore point before installing.

do we have to un-install the previous version first??

Priscilla, the file I downloaded asked during set-up whether I wanted to uninstall the older version. I checked Yes, and let it continue. It ran the full set-up without incident.

ok thanks bobbo

I dl from the 1st link at major geeks and haven't had a problem. Using XP Home, SP2. It did find four tracking cookies even after I ran the previous version of Ad-Aware.

I uninstalled the previous version then installed the new.
