Hello,
I have just installed and upgraded to 2008 free user.
I have 4 computers and two work with update ok.
The other two installed ok but when I run a scan it nevers sees the scanner or never goes beyond step 1 to srep 2. After about 2 mins it says scan complete but no files where scanned??
All my computers use XP.
I want to get 5 users pack for the work but I am afraid to do this until I get this problem fixed
Can you help. Keep in mine I am not a great computer pronblem solver. ?? Thanks
Cliff

Hi,

Is there any security software installed on the two that aren't working which is not on the two that are?

Also, try this:

. Uninstall 2008
. Download Microsoft's Windows Clean up utility from here.
. Install and run, remove any traces of Ad-Aware 2007/2008
. Install 2008

Hope that works,

Casey

Hello Casey,
Well I did download the Clean up and ran. There however, was no showing that adware was still installed.
I had removed it just before. So I rebooted and downloaded 2008 again.
However same problem. Loads fine but when I run the program it starts with step one and then it is suppose to see the path for scanning but it never does.
I am using Norton antivirus on this machine but also have it on the others that work.
The 2007 program had worked ok. I shut down the windows Xp firewall and tried a scan but still no go.
So I am looking for more help.
??
