Hi Folks!

I am running Ad-Aware SE Plus (latest updated version) in XP.
Whenever I perform a scan A-A hangs when it gets to C:\Windows\I386\LANG.

This happens EVERY time it's run.
A downloaded version of SE similarly halts at the same place whereas Spybot does not stop.

I have now removed the Plus version and am left with only the Free SE.
How do I go about re-activating the Plus version? My licence for SE Plus is valid until October2006.

Any ideas?

Hi Douglas,

First try this from the FAQ, here

Let us know how it goes

Thanks

douglas johns,

use the registration details that were sent to you via E-Mail.
also make sure that it is Ad-aware SE Build 106 and The appearance of hanging usually occurs when 'Scan archives' is selected. Its not actually stopped scanning however. What's happening is Ad-aware is de-compressing/ unzipping files to check the contents for suspicious files, the Ad-aware re-compresses the files. This can take some time.
If this is the setting that's effecting your scans,
Try this
Open your Ad-aware,
Click the "Settings" (The Gear) button at the top right to display the "Settings" main menu.
Click "Scanning".
Un-Tick 'Scan within archives' and
then Click on "Scanning Engine"
then un-Tick (un-check) "Unload recognised modules during scan"
then Click on the Proceed button.
Also try shutting as many programs/process as possible. (I.E firewall Anti-Virus etc.) Please make sure that you
Unplug/disconnect your Modem before disabling your Anti-Virus/Firewall
Just remember to turn them back on
Then scan with Ad-ware by doing a "Full Scan" and post your logfile here by using the "reply" feature,

Andreas,

Spot on, Andreas!!
Disk diagnostics showed bad sectors,
Installed new disk and used WD disk tools ( downloaded from their website) to copy from C: -> D: Changed physical boot drive.

Restarted and ran ad-aware successfully.....BINGO.
Now to get SE Plus running.....

Thanks again.
