Hi, I just installed the new ad-aware 2007. I have previously been using ad-aware the older version, for many years, but they no longer allow updates. So I installed ad-aware 2007 today, and I am scanning my computer, and it has been 11 hours, and it is still scanning. What do i do? If I stop it I can't fix the problems they have found. How long should I let it go? Are there any similar programs that I can use?
Thanks so much for any suggestions. This ismy first post to the forums here, I appreciate the help.

Ad Aware 2007 is not recommended by the experts here. Ditch it and try Super Anti Spyware instead.
