I hope that file size is a type'o. If not.... Jesus ****ing Christ. I mean I know Ad-Aware is so 2006 and boated, but JESUS, I had no idea it was THAT bloated. I'm TOTALLY installing this in a VM to see just how bad it really is. Oh and their download server sucks **** taboot!

I just don't understand why this program is so HUUUUGE now. This was (along with Spybot Search and Destroy) the top program back in the day.

Just look how much it has increased in-between versions:

• Ad-Aware 2009 8.0.5.0 (35.72MB)
• Ad-Aware 2009 8.0.7.0 (58.04MB)
• Ad-Aware 2009 8.1.0.0 (73.52MB)
• Ad-Aware 2009 8.1.2.0 (87.11MB)
• Ad-Aware 8.2.0.0 (92.85MB)
• Ad-Aware 8.3.0.0 (119.87MB)
• Ad-Aware 8.3.1.0 (127.39MB)
• Ad-Aware 8.3.3.0 (126.91MB)
• Ad-Aware 8.3.5.0 (124.85MB) [At least it is coming down...]

I do see that they now include an anti-virus engine... but Jesus. No thanks, I'll stick with my 10MB MSE. Thank you.

I have not used Adaware for about five years. I have just been using Malwarebytes for the last couple years. I do not even use Spybot anymore.
