I have the images ready, sized and waiting in photobucket. I'm too pooped to continue, but here's the text so far...

How to download and install Ad-Aware 2007 Free


Ad-Aware 2007 Free


Ad-Aware 2007 Free is an anti-spyware program that is available free for downloading from Lavasoft®. It is intended for personal home use only. Extended or commercial versions are also available for purchase from Lavasoft®: Ad-Aware 2007 Plus, Ad-Aware 2007 Pro and Ad-Aware Enterprise 2.0 for networks.

For the purposes of this article, we will deal only with Ad-Aware 2007 Free.

There are currently no plug-ins or additional components available for Ad-Aware 2007 Free. However, as they become available, the user guide (link to be added?) will be updated accordingly. Technical support is available from the Lavasoft® Support Forums.


Installation Guide for Ad-Aware 2007 Free:

Note: Ad-Aware 2007 typically must update its file definitions prior to each scan. Be sure to set your firewall permissions (link to general how-to?) to allow for Internet access before proceeding.

1. Begin the download process from the Lavasoft® website. You will be redirected to the download.com website (fig.1). Click Download Now:

5. Verify that the information is correct or leave blank. (Fig. 5) Select “Anyone who uses this computer” (preferred) or “Only for me” if you only want it installed on your user account.

The Ad-Aware application will now open to the main status screen, and your installation is complete. For information on how to use Ad-Aware 2007, go here (link to 'user guide' yet to be created)


Still need to discuss uninstalling previous versions, known installation issues, how to uninstall? Also, create an linkable page with the 'user guide' instead of including it in this page?
