Re: Ad-Aware 2007

Soon as you run Adaware again it will try to download a new copy of AAWTray.exe.

The upgrade from hell has arrived.

Okay. I renamed it and everything seems to be working. Thanks a lot.

I tried to open Ad-Aware after disabling it in Services and it gave me an error message so I set it to Manual and the icon is gone but the services is still running in my Windows Task Manager. What did you rename the exe.file and where did you go to rename it?
I left the service running and just used Windows Explorer to c:\program files\lavasoft\ad-aware 2007\AAWTray.exe and then changed the .exe file to changed_AAWTray.exe.

Rebooted and the unusable icon was gone.
