Ad-Aware SE Personal Keeps Sticking

lyricallawgirl · 01-02-2008, 10:49 PM

Hey everyone,

Hope this all finds you well in the new year...now here is my problem.

It seems that my last update did something weird to my Ad-Aware and now it keeps getting stuck on me...it's sticking right around:

CLSID\{40031115-09D2-3851-A13F-56930BE48038}

It does it in every scan...Smart Scan, Full System Scan, Custom Scan...

Anyone have a clue what happened?

Thanks for any help...

I don't why your Ad-Aware SE keeps sticking, but it is time for you to uninstall it and replace it with Ad-Aware 2007 ( still free) as support for SE ceased on 31rd December 2007 and you will not get any definition updates for it.
An anti-malware prog with out of date definitions is worse than no anti-malware prog as you will have a false sense of security.

Change now, and I think your problem will go away.

Wow, I was thinking I should get that one but I wasn't sure. I will definitely update when I get home.

Also, I have some other programs on there, will you let me know if I am covering all bases and protecting myself from everything? I would greatly appreciate it, this is what I have:

CCleaner
AVG 7.5
Sypbot Search and Destroy and
Ad-Aware (soon to have 2007)

I run them in that order too once a week just to be safe...do you think I'm safe?

Thanks for your help :)

Hi
You haven't got a firewall in that list and the windows firewall not effective.
You can get a free firewall from the links in this article.

Thanks man,

The weird thing is, I installed it perfectly fine here at work, but on my home computer, it doesn't like me sooo much...

lyricallawgirl · 01-04-2008, 09:32 PM

Well, I tried to do the work-around but when I went into the registry, I don't have a place in the registry that has HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exploer\User Shell Folders

any other help???

Have a look in your firewall settings and make sure it is not blocking.

lyricallawgirl · 01-05-2008, 02:48 PM

Hey Quiblum,

I actually thought about that so everytime I try to run it I shut down my firewall...any other thoughts? THANKS!
