A big fan of AdAware for many years - uninstalled ver 2007 to update to ver 2008.

Aawservice.exe now grabbing 100% CPU usage (ok, actually 90-99%) and 150MB RAM - all this occuring in the background with AdAware not running or open. I can't get it to stop. Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. AdAware no longer starts up. I receive a system error: 1814 "Could not log in to service. Are you running this application as another user? Application terminates" when trying to open it. Yet CPU usage still at 99%

I have this running in two of my other PCs with no probs. Haven't found any similar posts. I can't be the only one with this problem. I'm not running anything particularly unusual or exotic.

Hello
plz provide more information about your O/S and the installed security software.

Hi Jeff,
I've never participated in this kind of forum, so hope I'm doing it right. I posted a reply under another thread also but about the same topic. I am also getting the 1814 and 1921 error codes after installing latest update. I looked at your fix, but cannot find any file named core.aawdef under Ad-Aware folder. I'm using Vista. What do I do?
Thanks,
Don Hartrich

Hi Don

Am I right in thinking I saw you had corrected this error in another thread?
If not, let me know.
