Ad-aware SE is for NT based OS' and Win9x/ME and no longer automatically updates. You have
to manually update that version. At some point it is expected all support for Ad-aware SE
will be dropped and won't even allow manual updates.

Ad-aware 2007 and the latest version, Ad-aware 2008, are for Win2K and above only due to
their dependency on NT Services.

Note also that the "Pro" versions perform "On Access" scanning to prevent being infected
with adware/spyware while the "SE" or personal versions perform only "On Demand" scanning
and remove not prevent adware/spyware infections.

I'm sorry but I don't understand fine. I have read the specifications
but I don't understand if Ad-Aware 2008 has an integrated antivirus.
I'm using NOD32. Have I unistall it?
Thanks for info.

THANKS very much for your advice. Yes I like to use a very good
antispyware software. I get many spywares every days and I need one
very good.
I usually use Spybot - Search & Destroy and AD-Aware.
Do you think SuperAntiSpyware is better than AD-Aware?
thanks

Then you are NOT practicing Safe Hex!

The *best* protection is YOU... not software.
