      I'm getting a weird error when trying to install it, giving me the option to debug or continue. It still seems to load but gives me an exception error each time I try to reopen the program, and also that server too busy error as well.???

      Just updated the SE version with no problems whatsoever??

      It asks for a full name and orginazation but I put any name and nothing in the organization line, anyone else doing this??

          I will try one more time to download and install this 2007 version, but I think something is corrupting the download, not sure if it is requiring me to enter the same name as I did for the SE version??...Don't like giving out my name for freewares, what's the need??

          Anyways, I'll give it a go with what you've said BR7...I don't think that it is trying to update automatically, but rather that it is giving me an error either due to a corrupted file or that I must use the same name to match the system's signature?? just speculating.

            Trust me it did the same thing to me lol.I actually think it's a missed bug when it starts up it tries to dl new definitions and there isn't anything there being your up to date already and it thinks there is something wrong.Is this what your getting? If so I can recreate it each time i do it

                It is not allowing me to save the change to the setting...

                This is starting to make me wonder??...First time I installed it, it removed the SE version on it's own (but not the SE version et-up files) this time it did not????... Hmmmm, making me wonder if this is some sort of flaws with the set-up files??

                  ran the smart scan twice, evidently one or more of the less healthy sites I go to had installed a data miner on my system, killing it deleted several healthy cookies

                  Repeat after me Chewy will use firefox

                    The only thing I can think of is try uninstalling again and then use CCleaner run both the cleaner and the issues

                          I had already run Ccleaners' issues function, trying to see if there were some duplicate files from the SE version, but also just ran the cleaner function...going to see if I can reload now...

                              I'm done trying. Never had this much issues trying to load a program???
                              I need to see if it is specific to this 2007 version or is something is causing issues for any downloaded files ( I seriously doubt that but am going to dig a little deeper to see WTF!!!!! is going on)...lol

                                Well I have absolutely no problems downloading and/or updating anything else, it's just this Ad Aware 2007 that is F-ed up for me??? Don't know why/

                                Are you guys entering your names and an orginazation info when prompted?? Or like me just either by-passing it or entering a bogus name???

                                It really irks me when something doesn't work as it should........

                                Atleast I still got the SE version updating and scanning beautifully!!...

                                I wonder if the recent download of the Advanced WindowsCare V2 Pro is causing the issue trying to download this AdAware 2007???...
