dumping as well -- gee an upgrade? -- other than Vista;

1. privilege of a non-functioning tray icon consuming 2 or more megabytes of memory -- and removal of its startup will "reappear" anytime you open up the program!

2. Service -- although you can set it to manual -- but opening Adaware 2007 causes to run until reboot unless stopped -- more unnecessary memory used!

3. Identification of NOTHING -- but cookies for newegg and such -- that, while I set to ignore, are obviously IMHO too tight and potentially destructive for most users -- feel good only?

4. More limitations for scans on free version previous versions -- an upgrade?

5. NO identification of MRUs versus previous version -- again an upgrade?

In short a program that only offers Vista compatability, identifies nothing more useful than the previous version, is more crippled as to features. Old version never found anything, suspect this one will not either.

Bottom line -- time to remove, do not even go back to previous version! Lavasoft, I suspect your days are numbered -- given this "reduction" in capability what makes you think I would even consider a paid upgrade!
What would you suggest for a free replacement program?

Dumped Ad Aware several months ago and chose SuperAntispyware.
I was having too many problems with AAW...updates, scans etc..so I thought there are too many other free spyware programs out there to put up with this.

I like SuperAntispyware so far. Real-time protection and light on resources. Updates almost daily.
