notice of problem with new Ad-Aware version 1.04

Got a notice that an updated new version of Ad-Aware
Personal se 1.04 was available. Downloaded opened the
Lavasoft.de page and downloaded from the Cnet link. Install
removed the previous 1.03 version. The scan froze at about
38,000 files and the application stopped responding.
Uninstalled and downloaded version 1.04 from MajorGeeks in
case there was a corrupt file at downloads.com. Same
problem.
Uninstalled 1.04 and reinstalled version 1.03.

Have sent email to lavasoft

Yes, Randy sent another note that there is apparently a problem with the
new build. I'm holding off on using it until I hear it is OK.

Mine from Major Geeks works fine too. There are lots of posts about it in
the Lavasoft forums.

I want better odds than 50:50 before I upgrade. I'll wait.

Jim,

I just downloaded it from Major Geeks. It installed and scanned 135,000
files on my C: and D: drives - through to completion.

Go figure!

I guess it may be a problem for some configurations and not
others. When I ran it it seemed that it didn't really scan
to the 38,000 files, it just seemed to get there real fast
and then stop. I'll try it again in a few days. Another
poster said there was a pretty good thread on the lavasoft
forum, I'll check that out.

Tried downloading from 2 different places including MajorGeeks & both
did the same thing... Went back to 1.03 as well... Let us know if you
hear any reason as to why. Gimpy
