Windows XP: THE new adaware update
THE new adaware update
by MESMD - 6/13/07 3:58 AMHi,
I am using the last 1.06 Adaware Se since 2005.
When I Install the latest update, just downloaded, can I install it without first uninstalling my current version? Or does it install into its own subdirectory? I do not want to lose my backups and how would these be saved or are they no longer needed?
My main Question is: Can I install the new version without having to uninstall my current version? Maybe after running the newer version, I can uninstall the previous one?
Thanks very much for your help.
Miles
AdAware 7

I just installed Adaware 7....

When you are asked what type of uninstall you want(automic or custom), just cancel or X out. Version 7 will continue its installation. There will be two folders, one for each verdsion, at the Lavasoft Folder in the Programs Folder.
If you want to be safe, create a System Restore Point...
According to Lavasoft. . .

by tobeach - 6/13/07 11:00 PM In reply to: THE new adaware update by MESMDinstall AAW Free 2007 at this time. Wait 1 month or more. Bug reports are still coming fast & heavy.
SE is still being supported and updated in usual manner.
This is what I'm doing & suggesting to family & friends. 
2007 ADAWARE

Your logic and way of installing is what I did.
The new 2007 Adaware found 157 bad entries!! When I used the older SE version weekly, It finds 1-5 at most. I went ahead and removed the 167 with a restore point and quarantine. I hope I do not have to restore anything as the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to take effect. I 've delayed that for know?

re ad aware 2007 be carefull..
by mutton777 - 6/14/07 2:17 AM In reply to: 2007 ADAWARE by MESMDI installed ad aware 2007, and found that once installed, my pc ran
30% slower, plus I was unable to use system restore. I have now un-installed and reverted bact to the old one. everything is now back to normal.
same here
by hi2u2 - 6/14/07 4:18 AM In reply to: re ad aware 2007 be carefull.. by mutton777I installed AAW 2007 yesterday and noticed even though it was the free version with no continuous background protection a new item was running in task manager aawservice.exe and running as a service, which you'd have to stop after each time you'd ran AAW 2007 and using a fair amount of RAM, so I've uninstalled and gone back to the old version.
