Installing Adaware

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I want to install Adaware Personal SE. When I download it and want to run it,
in the upper left corner of the desktop, some small screen appears so fast
that you can not read it. The installation does not take place. I have Spy
Sweeper, Norton Antivirus,and Spybot installed. Will these interfer with the
installation?

I'd suggest you close all those other apps, if they are running, just before you begin the setup of AdAware.

Everyone installs what in Safe Mode? Ad-aware? Unless you are
specifically cleaning an infested machine, there is no reason to
install Ad-aware in Safe Mode.

Not at all true. Installing in Safe mode isn't necessary, and isn't normally
done unless there's an existing specific infestation which interferes with a
normal insatallation.

Not to mention that some programs won't install in safe mode.

True, but this thread is specifically about installing AdAware.

It may be a combination of those..I've been able to install that same version
on my husband's laptop with Mcafee running without a problem and haven't done
it in Safe Mode. I also have spybt installed. I say turn off SpySweeper
before installing.

Thanks, m'dear. Isn't he the one who says he teaches computers and web
design at LSU and yet all his website images point to his hard drive? I
forget his name.
