    Bad Points: As I said I followed their recommended actions. Blindly I might add. This new anniversary edition is very disappointing. After I installed this new version, I used it several times over a period of several days, and noticed it did not live up to expectations I've always had for it. I can not see the threatening files detected before the recommended action is supposed to be taken. I used to like this feature because I was allowed to decide if I wanted to use the Ad-Aware recommended procedure for the problem files found. But now I see I have no worries. As I said this program found that my computer was relatively free of threats. It discovered a few threats, and they are found time after time with no resolution to the problems, it actually did not remove the threats, . Most ineffective. BIG thumbs down to this version of this Lavasoft product!. Basing a purchase or download on looks and past reputation, can be deceiving.. Too bad. I really liked the user friendly interface and options afforded me by the earlier versions. Maybe Lavasoft will see these problems and revert this great product to it's former place at the top of the heap!


    General comments: I have used Ad-Aware for years. The anniversary edition looks nice and offers Ad-Watch Live free with the new install. I have always been impressed at the cleanup job it performed. I especially liked the feature that allowed me to view the problem files before deciding to remove them. Sometimes the threats were minimal and if removed would cause some of my other programs to stop functioning because they were in a package with that program. I could actually see the names of the threats and how dangerous they really are. The new Ad-Aware version found many threats, and I followed there recommended actions. I was amazed to see that my computer was relatively free of adware threats! Disappointing!
