I have been using free versions of Lavasoft's Ad-Aware as one of my anti-spy applications on all of our computers for 2 or 3 years now. Mostly I have been happy with the results. Recently, though, I have begun to have trouble with Ad-Aware 2007 causing one of my computers to shut down when I try to run a scan.
I looked up the problem on various forums and the most common answer is that something called Virtumundo causes the problem. I ran the recommended remover a couple of times, though, and it did not find anything like that. I searched my system and it doesn't come up. Spybot and McAfee Antivirus fun fine and are not finding anything worrisome on my computer.
Anyone else experiencing any problems like this? Should I just give up on Ad-Aware on that computer?
