Re: Ad-Aware 2007 Free 7.0.1.2 Released! Not for Vista said by jmorlan:I cannot say for sure that this problem was related to Ad-Aware, but I noticed this evening that my Add/Remove program applet in Control Panel was completely hosed. It included tons of entries that were not programs, most of my real programs were missing and those that were present did not have a "remove" button. The solution was to go back to a system restore point from before I installed Ad-Aware 7007 free. That was last Thursday. As I said, I'm not blaming Ad-Aware, but it's not something I've seen before and it has me curious. Interesting . . .
Maybe you should post here and ask ErRoR  which version of AdAware he/she is using:

kudos:4 | That's exactly the type of thing I was seeing. There were a huge number of entries that were not really applications. Uncanny is that he posted on Friday. I had to go back to a Thursday restore point to get mine back to normal. Going back to Friday did not work.
I posted in that other thread.
Thanks. |

Hi
According to Lavasoft, over 300.000 people participated in the beta. IMO that should be enough users to get a good enough diversity in systems to test the application on.
Still major bugs like blue screens and disk wipes seems to have made it through to the final release...
How is that possible??
1,752 registered users in the Beta forums gives that 0.584% of the beta testers registered on the forums..
If these numbers are true, LS should regard the entire beta test a major failure.
Or was it that after entering the beta, 99.4% of the beta testers just gave up on a product that was to bad to live to see the light of day??
Regards

kudos:8 | Did people report bugs they had or did they just download the beta so they had an advance copy. I do know when the beta testers were a small group there was active participation. The other part of beta testing is actively documenting and reporting the bugs. No matter how many people you have contributing there is no way to test every hardware & software configuration out there - particularly for those of us who love to tinker with our systems. 
I'd be curious to know the percentage of actual bugs vs. total number of installs of the final release as well.

Typical..new version comes out..bloated, some new visuals but just as functional as the previous version.
I swear, I can't remember the last time I've done a SOFTWARE UPGRADE that actually offered some sort of functionality over its previous version that was USEFUL.
I'll stick to Spybot Search n Destory. |
