Strengths: None!
Weaknesses: Couldn't uninstall 2007, did what it said, but didn't completely uninstall, so reinstalled and uninstalled. Then I installed AA 8 and now it says I have AA8 but version 7.1.
Overall Evaluation: I would uninstall it if I could!

Strengths: Free, and is a good second option to your primary product.
Weaknesses: None, as a free product
Overall Evaluation: Ran the SmartScan twice...did not find any threats worth mentioning. Both scans took 26 and 24 minutes to complete respectively. I have a CPU and RAM monitor on my desktop. CPU usage averaged about 35% with spikes of 65%-70% upon opening an application/program. RAM usage was about 3% additional. Had MSOutlook and IE7 running during scans and encountered no problems. I'd have to agree with another reviewer that using a dual core processor as I am with sufficient RAM (I have 4G's)will probably make a difference. FYI, my OS is Vista Ultimate.

Strengths: Ad-Aware SE=Tons of strength...Ad-Aware 2007=little strength....Ad-Aware 2008=no strength at all
Weaknesses: Sluggish scan and alway incomplete,if you tried open some other program while scanning,the scanner will give you a error msg and close the program,i think you really need to have a good computer to use this program.After update when you want to scan it say scanner is busy,i only can continue by close it and end it process and restart.Even updating it still freeze.i don't think it had a much different from this free version and paid version
Overall Evaluation: I had use back Ad-Aware SE Personal,althrough it not supported by lavasoft anymore,i am still able to get it's defination update from softpedia.com.Ad-Aware 2008 had a very serious problem,but lavasoft seem doesn't care about it despite a lot of us gave feedback to lavasoft.it also maybe a plan to make us pay for the program to make it Lag-free
