I've been using ad-aware for years, and i've been using the AE version for few months now, and suddenly when i try to run it, it gets stuck at the loading screen, just stays there till i restart the computer or end process in task manager... any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi,

Have a read of this topic: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=26559

The service is already set to automatic, but doesn't start when i restart computer. I tried manually starting it then start Ad-Aware AE but that didn't work either

Probably a malware infection then.Read the instructions in my signature and post a HJT log in the HJT forum for analysis.
