what safe networking does in ad-aware 10?

[CeciliaB]

what safe networking does in ad-aware 10?

It is an HIPS that protects processes against malicious and risky actions.
HIPS = Host intrusion prevention system http://en.wikipedia....evention_system
More description: http://www.lavasoft....-adaware-pro-10

[megamind]

I know what is HIPS but their is a HIPS working under real time protection. Is it different from network guard that block connection to ad sites in previous versions of ad-aware.

[Sass Drake]

Is it possible to disable installing module for realtime protection like in previous versions?

[CeciliaB]

Hi Sass Drake,

No, it is not, but you can disable real-time protection after installation.

Hi! I've installed the final release of Ad-aware 10 FREE. I have some problems with my windows firewall, since the installation of Ad-aware.Something is messed up. Look at the screenshot.

After installing latest ad-aware 10 on xp sp3, running s scan and removing detected objects I got blue screen referencing sbhips.sys on rebooting. F8 last configuration that worked did not help. In safe mode I could not see enough of the user interface to figure out how to restore objects from quarantine. Uninstalling the antivirus part of the program was not possible in safe mode. I had to do a system restore as no other options were available to me.

Lavasoft generally supports a version during 18 months. Since 9.6 was released approx. 6 months ago, it will be possible to use 9.6 during approx. one year from now (if they don't change the policy).

Do you have another antivirus program installed? It might have been a conflict between the two antivirus programs.

System restore is a good tool
