AdAware 2007


Recommended Posts

Guest R. McCarty

Recently, I've noticed several issues related to the new AdAware 2007.

My boot time significantly increased after installing the latest version.

I've

had a few issues related to the AdAware service ( aawservice.exe ) not

starting or experiencing abnormal stops.

 

Today I was updating my copy of AutoRuns.exe and noticed a new

entry in the Boot Execute section - Isdelete.Exe. Did a little research on

this and decided to temporarily disable the call to Isdelete.Exe at boot.

Interestingly, my boot time decreased from ~63 seconds back to it's

more normal 38-Seconds.

 

While I'm not at this point to uninstall Ad-Aware, I'm not very happy

with the changes. This new version is way too convoluted to update and

has a unusually long lag time when it goes off to check for updates.

 

Anyone else having issues with Ad-Aware 2007 ?

I, too, run AdAware 2007 on my computer (along with several other

spyware/malware type detectors) and out of curiosity, I ran a complete

search - hidden files, system files, etc. - for "isdelete.exe" It is

not on my computer anywhere. Are you sure the boot slowdown caused by

isdelete is an issue with AdAware itself?

Re: AdAware 2007

 

Reasonably sure. I took an Image of my system volume before I made

any changes. Earlier I had taken a stop watch check of the boot time &

it was ~63 seconds. Actually I also took a BootVis run to see the times

for boot/driver/startups & watchdog times.

After I disabled the IsDelete.Exe call with AutoRuns I did another time

check with the stopwatch and BootVis and both confirmed a completed

boot at 39.2 Seconds. Actually looking at the Trace log with BootVis it

showed a completed boot cycle at 34 Seconds.

 

Nothing else was changed except for the call to IsDelete.

 

Not a big issue, but I really dislike all these programs adding new features

that don't really return a true benefit. Ad-Aware was fine in it's earlier

form and the new one is just more "Bells-&-Whistles".

Re: AdAware 2007

 

Using Freeware version gives no similar entry in Boot Execute section.

I agree with that. I don't let any of the "antispy/malware"

programs start at boot up and run in the background (except Norton and

my firewall)- I run them proactively in rotation, usually one a day, and

I update them weekly. Letting one - or worse, several of them - run in

the background just causes annoyances at best, and outright trouble at

worst. The aspects of the programs that cause the most annoyances are

invariably the "add-ons" that the program didn't have initially, and

usually didn't need, in my view.

Re: AdAware 2007

 

Yep, it's in my freeware version, as to a slowdown in boot times there has

been some although I have not disabled Isdelete to see how much faster the

system boots.

Re: AdAware 2007

 

One piece of info I located was in the following thread,

( Last Entry ).

http://forums.tweakguides.com/showthread.php?t=6318

I just checked my system and there is no file named IsDelete.Exe.

Not sure if it's from an earlier version of Ad-Aware 2007 or how

the Boot Execute call was generated. Anyway my machine is

better off without the call to it.

Maybe that's it - I am using the freeware version, too.

I'm running Ad-Aware 2005. I uninstalled Ad-Aware 2007. The Ad-Aware

2007 has poor ratings and does not catch some of the major critical

malwares.

What is the first character of the file name? You have typed the numeral

Re: AdAware 2007

 

Noozer

 

I have no intention of re-installing Adaware 2007.. this is how to eliminate

the boot up message.. taken from a forum, btw

 

Uninstall ADAWARE 2007 from add/remove programs

 

Manually remove LAVASOFT folder in Program files

 

Go to START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, RUN

 

Type in REGEDIT

 

Search for LAVASOFT and manually delete any LAVASOFT entries

 

Click on EDIT and then FIND

 

Type in BOOTEXECUTE and then search and open the entry

 

Manually edit the entry and remove the information for LSDELETE

 

Do NOT change any other AUTOCHECK information

 

RESTART computer and all will be back to normal

Re: AdAware 2007

 

I'm still using 2007, but used AutoRuns to remove the IsDelete call.

When I have some time, I'll try and do a little more research on why

this Boot Execute call caused my boot time to increase by ~24 sec.

RE: AdAware 2007

 

I do not understand all that you said but boy when it comes to Ad-Aware 2007

I know you nailed it on the head. Have been a long time user of it and

bought the Ad-Aware Plus long ago when it came out at the suggestion of the

AumHa board. I know it is a good program but the 2007 never shows me anything

that I understand and has more of a "user-friendly" upfront view of itself

but because of that I never see what it is saying or doing .. and as opposed

to the 2006 version .. there is always something now running with this

version. My Scottie dog reflects this in my services that are always running

and I never saw this in the 2006 version. I also have autoruns.exe I think

... yep I do .. by System Internals .. but then I also have RunAlyzer.exe by

SpyBot. Don't know how to read either of these programs that well .. but hey

... I am a struggling, floundering, trying-to-hold-on-to-my-sanity computer

runner and ... okay .. will shut up. Just needed to second your input about

Ad-Aware.

Re: AdAware 2007

 

If not Ad-Aware 2007 .. then what?

Also since you were so informative about uninstalling Ad-Aware 2007 .. do

you know how I might uninstall Ad-Aware 2006 Plus? I had it on my computer

before I installed the new 2007 download .. and it is the bought version ..

but when I click the uninstall exe in the folder .. it looks for a

install.log that I do not have on my computer ... don't need the extra

program .. don't know how to go about ferretting it out. I have plenty of

programs that reveal the add/remove statistics of my computer .. SpyBot ..

Ccleaner .... more I am sure .. just don't know how to do it. Yes obviously

I sometimes don't understand the lingo in the forums .. but I can understand

pretty much if you write it out like you did the uninstall you just wrote

out. Thanks ... with a meek expression but there are no faces at this forum,

right? I have WinXPSP2 and am MSN subscriber since beginning.

Re: AdAware 2007

 

I thought Mike-MVP wrote out this:

 

"Manually edit the entry and remove the information for LSDELETE"

 

He did. Did that not refer to the program you guys are talking about. That

you say is IsDelete.exe?

Re: AdAware 2007

 

My response to myself ... because I am slow to the realization that I guess I

can disable this program thru the Autoruns.exe that was mentioned earlier ..

even perhaps delete it from there ... but .. I do have the paid version of

Ad-Aware 2007 ... how can it be that it is not up to par any longer? I read

the post from the end from the person who is using Ad-Aware 2005 ... don't

tell me you are using a version so old that ... well how can it update the

definitions files? SpyBot is great I realize but I run that too. And of

course Norton Anti-Virus. Okay I know this thread was not about security but

it is so consuming to be constantly having to monitor how many program to

monitor the computer .. never even get to use the computer .. always talking

about how to keep it clean or fix it. This sucks .. forgive my English.

 

I came here to this microsoft.public.inetexplorer looking for the latest

version of Internet Explorer. Here is another problem .. my Ad-Aware user

rules says that I am running 2 versions of Iexplore.exe ... with different

MD5 checksum numbers. So I use my file alyzer from SpyBot and I search all

of the Iexplore.exe on my computer .. gosh darnitt .. I just can not believe

why do we have to have so many frigging layers of programs on WinXPSP2 .. ..

is this really necessary. Why can't downloaded newer versions just

overinstall on top of the last version. Here I have like 10 Iexplore.exe

files and not one of them has the MD5 checksum numbers that Ad-Aware says

apply to the two versions of Iexplore.exe that are supposedly running ... and

are listed in my "user rules".

 

Not only that .. when I go up to Tools on my Iexplore bar to check the

version running .. well it is NOT the latest version of the Iexplore.exe that

I have on my machine!

 

And finally .. and I sure wish that someone here would take perhaps a PayPal

fee from me and help me specifically with these problems .. because searching

out how many forums and how many postings to get answers on these specific

problems will be the whole day and I can't and won't do it and so just

everything builds up.

 

Well anyway finally .. the minute I was hedged into using Windows Live Mail

... from what was long ago my MSN email program that morphed into MSN

Messenger email program and both of those came with MSN Explorer always

running ALONG with Internet Explorer ......... as I was saying .. . the

minute I was hedged into downloading the all new beta version of Windows Live

Desktop Mail which now is Windows Live Mail .. which is supposed to take over

Outlook Express and which is supposed to be the latest MSN email software ..

I guess .. unless you have Office 2007 in which case I guess you are running

Outlook with MSN email in there .. and like I said I am a paid subscriber to

MSN Premium since the beginning but am lost now because MSN Explorer seems to

have disappeared in the last couple of days on my machine as I try to run

Windows Live Mail but barely can get it to start every day ... Are we still

supposed to be running MSN Explorer? And what is the latest version of

Internet Explorer and shouldn't that be in this newsgroup. Speaking of which

... newsgroups are supposed to display in Windows Live Mail. Right?

 

So are you guys viewing this thread in Windows Live Mail?

 

Please some response to these above questions would be highly appreciated

and will even pay thru PayPal!

Re: AdAware 2007

 

The best way would be to install Adaware 2006 Plus, run it once, and then

uninstall it.. unlike the 2007 version, it may not leave anything behind..

Re: AdAware 2007

 

Don't quite get this .. when I tried to post a question to Tony Meloche in

regards to what is http://Http://www.newsfeeds.com down below his post ... the

posting asks what newsgroup I want to post to. And now I notice when I asked

a question to Mike Hall - MVP - per Ad-Aware and his removing it .. as to

what program is better ... .. well my question did not show up under this

Internet Explorer newsgroup but instead under Windows XP general newsgroup.
