The first release was only a few days ago......Either lavasoft has worked 24hrs a day to improve the performance,or this is just a release with a few bug fixes.

Looks like nothing has changed.

Quote:

This program has gone to bloated and slow crap. There are better out there like Spybot, Spyware Terminator, A-squared, etc. To the reviewer below I don't think Windows Defender is even as bad as this crap.

And

Quote:

Ruined. Eats memory, installs services, and you still need to run Spybot to catch everything.

Ad-Aware went corporate, and they forgot the job at hand, don't make a nice UI and waste memory - clean spyware! I have lost faith in this product and I have been using it for years.

EDIT

No differences from the 7.0.1.2 i posted.

Once again this is removed from my pc.Version 1.06 still works much better.

Still an absolute no go on Vista. On the rare occasion it completes a scan, as soon as I try to delete all the trackers left by the por........erm intellectually stimulating gardening sites I frequent it crashes with all types of fatal errors.
