Ad-Aware 2007

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and currently on my machine is Ad-Aware SE. I even try running aaw2007.exe as Administrator and get the failed message.

I even tried to execute it using XP SP2 compatibility mode and that failed. This is driving me nuts! I do have to say though I was lol at your reference to Bill Gates. Thanks wolf!

What make of PC and which vista version do you have? Which anti virus and/or other anti-spyware etc , any of these may be causing a conflict, McAfee has done in the past for example. Have you tried downloading to cd-rw or flash drive then installing ? or installing in safe mode ? which browser are you using ? mozilla/ firefox is notorious for blocking anything it deems unsafe (eg :- microsoft updates lol).
PS:- If all else fails send a Dear Bill letter asking for our money back , as i have vista too growls and howls .)

is Norton Internet Security 2007, IE 7, and SuperAntiSPY. None of this affects Ad-Aware SE. I wonder if I need to manually uninstall SE Plus first. This SuperAntiSPY just detected 64 cookies! Sheesh! Do you have any other suggestions?

I read somewhere to uninstall the old version first... clean up all remnants. I have no experience and still use the former version.

Hope this helps... let us know if you have success.

and that didn't work either. I even went into regedit and cleaned out all the entries. I think Lavasoft needs to patch this up or say it is still not compatible with Vista.

Go into the program files and remove the lavasoft folder or ask one of the boys on the lavasoft forum they usually know all there is to know about ad-aware btw it works on my vista lol and yes you have to remove the old version 1st as glen says ,it is compatible with vista ( although vista isn't compatible with much lmao ), mine came in a nice box which is the best thing about it, ( my daughters hamster loves it , and he dont know jack s... about pc's), old Bill should of got the box designers to design vista , mine came with a game for making cakes which had a copyright on it , to funny , my 3yr old did that in 5 mins and hammy ( her hamster did it in 10 ), me thinks vista was designed by monty python as a spoof lol.

You can use internet options to block most third party cookies , install Winpatrol as scotty eats them , add crapcleaner that will take them out , do it each time you log off , scotty does it in seconds , click there gone.You could also try rogue remover pro 1.14 on a 30 day trial (its on CNET downloads )until ad-aware issue is sorted , there is also a free (limited ) version of spyware doctor 5 that comes with a google pack (there is a custom install fortunately ( as who the hell wants google on there pc , more crap ))from here http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html?hl=en&gl=us , that should keep you covered in the meantime ke4 .

is out of C:/program files and in my internet options I accepted first party and session and session cookies and have blocked third-party cookies. I uninstalled Ad-Aware SE and manually deleted all entries for that in regedit. I even tried using XP SP2 compability mode.I also looked in the event viewer to get a detailed explanation of the error...very vague and I am still getting the failed installation message.

Ad_aware 2007 has been updated , dont know if its a fix as they usally send out updates on a wednesday , but that said they aint gonna tell us anyway ,(eg:- who shot JFK ) , so try again ke4 , in the meantime download the programs i posted above and that will cover you, spyware doctor out performs virtually anything ( bar my dyson hoover ) and goto spyware warrior if you are that worried about your security ok , best wishes to the wife are you out again on thursday lol.

Had the same sort of problem on an xp pc a friend brought round , eventually got round the problem by going to hippo files aka files hippo and re-instaling an earlier version than manually updating till we got to the latest version , seems lavasoft wont re-install if you have an earlier version of the 2007 dunno why and dont care too much either , anyway it went in ok and works .
PS:- anyone know why ad-aware keeps finding adopt.euroclick tracking cookies and how to block the bloody things ?
