Lavasoft releases 10th anniversary edition of AdAware
Apart from the obvious update to the UI, several under-the-hood performance tweaks have been implemented. The scanner now uses less than 20% CPU and can process almost 40MB/s. Memory consumption has been reduced more than 70% over the 2008 edition. Rootkit removal has also been added, and integration with Windows Security Center has been improved.
All three licenses are available for the Anniversary edition (free, plus, and pro). As always, AdAware is for Windows systems only.
If you need help finding the actual free download link as opposed to the TrialPay one, clicking here will send you to the correct download.com page. It's also mirrored on FreewareFiles.

Yeah but does it still conflict with AVG?

I'm not feeling it. Detected false positives with 5 dlls that are critical to my setup.

same here, Drew Green, I ran the smart (quick) scan and it stopped on zipinst.exe... an installer from NirSoft
It was already signaled as a false positive back in December 2006. Nobody learned anything since then? What's the point if the user has check (or worry about) the results of a 10-year-old-leading-industry-anti-spyware product?
Maybe I missed something.
This is unsettling.
Anybody?

Two words. Symantec Endpoint. Just download the newest trial when your current one expires. Thorough, accurate, silent. All I've ever needed.

Froze for me on my beastly gaming rig running xp...I guess much hasn't changed the past 10 years over at lavasoft.

@ mvp ... the same has been said about Spybot, not progressing with the years; some reviews haven't been as glamorous (???) as in the past.
@ Level5 ... check your memory before and after loading/installing any Symantec product, dude. And then, check your system response time, not yours, to gauge the effective return value. Oops, they don't accept returns as much as before, do they?
My take, I may be wrong.

Yeah Endpoint uses alot of memory. But even on my 1GHz P3 laptop with a mere 640MB of ram it runs just fine. Endpoint however, is the most transparent and least abusive when it comes to being a resource hog. It also.. get this.. works. I've always had issues with Adaware or Spybot. They're garbage in my eyes. Endpoint never misses, or false positives, and automatically and SAFELY quarentines. You gotta pay to play, buddy.
