It gets worse folks!!

Adaware 2008.

Just attempted an update today. Dialog box told me there was a newer
version! Already? Selected `Upgrade` and after some ten secs or so received
an `Adaware needs to close ......... sorry for the inconvenience` routine.
Interestingly, the update (before it crashed seem to reference 7.1. da da
da). This seems to substantiate my previous cynical observations.

Confirmed !!!

The newest download is:
Ad-Aware 2008 7.1.0.8

The one I posted about on 05/21/08 was:
7.1.0.7

Not a good sign :-(
I will wait awhile before I think of installing.

Sounds like a very good idea. As for myself, I`ve uninstalled it since my
previous post.

As a parting note: Here is an extract from one of the disillusioned
customers I gleaned from Lavasoft`s free support forum.

"However from a customer point of view I can tell you that both initial
final releases Ad-Aware 2007 & Ad-Aware 2008 were a piece of crappy & buggy
software which a serious company wouldn't even dare to release as an Alpha or
even a Beta-Version."

That just about sums it up for me - very disappointed.

Stu - I installed it on two home pc's with no problems so far. It seems to
be running better than AdAware 2007 was for me.
 
Hi John

Pleased to hear it is not giving you probs. There seems to be a mixed bunch
of opinions on the Lavasoft forums. Anyway, think I will give it another few
weeks/months/years ? ;)

Time to push the calender back a little more :-(

The latest patch is now at Ad-Aware 2008 v7.1.0.10

I really would like to give it a chance at some point,
but they really need to get a stable version out there.
I don't do gamma testing anymore , period.

This doesn't say much for their testing procedures.
I really need it to go without a program update or complaint for at least a
month at this point :-)

In fact, At this point I don't even want to start a new thread for them
which is why I posting here.

?:-)
