Guest R. McCarty Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 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 ?

Are you sure the boot slowdown caused by isdelete is an issue with AdAware itself?

Guest R. McCarty Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 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". "Tony Meloche" <bombarde@i2k.com> wrote in message news:1189955977_6021@sp6iad.superfeed.net... > R.

Ad-Aware was fine in it's earlier > form and the new one is just more "Bells-&-Whistles". 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.

Guest JS Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 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.

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.

I uninstalled Ad-Aware 2007. The Ad-Aware 2007 has poor ratings and does not catch some of the major critical malwares.

Guest sbc Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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. "R.

Guest sbc Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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.

Guest sbc Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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? "R.

Guest sbc Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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!

Guest Mike Hall - MVP Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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..

Guest sbc Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 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. I read the "Help" page and there was no mention of the fact that your question or post would show up elsewhere. At least from what I saw. I will go back and read. What is a newsfeed and is it advantageous to get one? "Tony Meloche" wrote: > R.
