The following Command Line Parameters are available for use with Ad-Aware SE Professional:

+nice+/-n
"+" boosts priority: ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS up to REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS
(+nice+1 or +nice+2 respectively)

"-"decreases priority: BELOW_NORMAL down to IDLE
(+nice-1 or +nice-2 respectively)

[

There is a mistake in your command line FAQ. You have +nice the wrong way round.

+nice-1 +nice-2 increases priority above normal not decreases it.

similiarly

+nice+1 +nice+2 decreases priority below normal not increase it.

That is correct Ad_Astra... thankyou for pointing that out... it should be noted that their may be confusion here as the command line switches presented when running Ad-Aware.exe /? say otherwise, and that is why the FAQ also did. I will update the FAQ, and put a note in there that the "nice" value explained in "Ad-Aware.exe /?" should be treated as + (lower) - (higher)
