ADAWARE????

[Machines]

Everytime I run adaware it gets about 3/4 of the way
finished and freezes. I did try to remove/re-install, but
the same thing happens. Is there another free program
that I can run that performs the same functions as adaware?

Thanks,
Machines

Have you tried it in Safe Mode or after disabling your Anti Virus auto scan?

Be sure that you clear out your Internet Explorer cache prior to running.
If you have a lot of cache (not cash! ), then this will cause Ad-Aware to
appear like it is stuck.

Good luck,
Rob

You may want to tune up your pc first ie minimize the amount of
background apps you have running, delete internet cache and windows temp
files etc. Another program is:
