AdAware Version (build) Update

Did you uninstall the previous version first?? Just a thought.

During installation of the new version, it prompts you to uninstall the
old version - doing so uninstalls the previous version without you
needing to exit the installer.

I know that......but some of the people on the MS news groups did it that
way and it froze. Others removed it PRIOR to installing the new version and
it worked fine. I would hazard a guess that it did not remove all of the
files when working within the update.

I did it both ways, first I ran the install program just to if it did have a
removal section and since it did I elected to install that way. Then since
the Webupdate won't update, (just says ERROR connecting to.......) I then
decided to do an install by first uninstalling Core version 1.05. I did a
system restore put the version 1.05 back on the desktop checked the
webupdate configuration, it worked just fine then did an uninstall using
Windows XP ADD /REMOVE. cleaned up the registry. Then Installed Ver 1.06 got
the same problem, So I'm back to the ver 1.05 it works great ver 1.06 seemed
to be very sluggish especially when I was using other programs.

Out of interest I have used the new 1.06r1 version on five computers so
far and find it very much faster than 1.05. It also gives a clearer
results section. All computers have significantly different
configurations and all installed 1.06r1successfully after uninstalling
the previous version.

Possibly some problem on your machine?

For me, 1.06r1 was only faster because it was set to "smart system
scan" after installation. On changing to "full system scan" it seemed
to take as long as ever (i.e. very long).
