I installed/updated too 2008 free version.But when i run the scan,it stops at the deep regertry part and stays there,last time for three hours.Am I missing something?? I uninstalled it and re intsalled it.made sure it was allowed through my security settings and yet it still sticks any ideas before i run out and buy the full version for nothing.??

hi,

at what exact registry entry does the scan stick?

as a workaround try this setting: ad-aware > settings > scanning > click (cross) deep archive scanning

I tried the work around and it still stalled on the deep scan. Here is an image of where it stalled. And now I see I can upload an image for my message.

Hi all
pls give this a try...
Run CCleaner ( hit the 'Registry' button on the left hand side ) before you start an AAW-scan.
If it still not works > defragment your registry.
Let me know what happens.
Cheerio

add.

I ran AVG and rebooted
Rad Ad-aware FULL and it still stalled in the same place.

I Un-installed AVG and rebooted
Ran Ad-aware FULL and it still stalled in the same place.

I ran Spy-bot and rebooted
Ran AD-A stalled in same place

I ran CCleaner and it's registry cleaner and rebooted
Ran AD-A stalled in the same place

I ran EUSING Registry cleaner and rebooted
Ran AD-A stalled in the same place

I hope this helps in diagnosing the problem. Thanks for your help.

Hi again

>if you're sure that your registry is clean, uninstall AAW2008 ( use Revo uninstaller ).
>navigate to Documents and Settings/All Users(User)/ Application Data/Lavasoft -- and delete the entire
Ad-Aware folder.
>run the registry-cleaner again
>reboot
>start a fresh dl/install of AAW with DISABLED security software.
Hope this helps

I having the same problem as above. XP, SP3. Runs OK with smart scan stops at Deep Scan (CLSID)

Mod.Edit / question/ Raziel

Hi
what AAW version is installed , Free , Plus or Pro ?

Sorry about the no details. AAW 2008 Free. It runs fine on my laptop. My desk top is the one I'm having problems. I'm also running at about 15% full on my 80gig HD. I have deleted some programs. Yes I will be building a bigger HD

I had some problems today and fixed them. Now AAW2008 is running complete scan

Hey
glad to see that you solved it.
I'll close.
