It would make the LZ 129 Hindenburg seem fast.

But then this seems to be a trend along with the latest update to AVG 8.0

Even the Ad-Aware page takes ages to load. Is this a warning sign?

I downloaded it and tried it yesterday wouldn't even make it past half my host files before it stopped and quit and said scan complete,that was on full system scan. I never had a program ever do that before. It's still a POS.

Dang, I thought they'd improved it from 2007 version. Looks like they didn't. :lol:

I think Microcrap is secretly buying these companies and destroying the apps so they are crap like MS stuff is. This takes people's minds off Vista :lol:

Somebody's buying these companies up, and it seems like they all hired the same one design department that worked on Sex And The City (all glam, and zero substance).

Ad-aware 2007 was a major disappointment. It has turned into bloatware, and I only hope that 2008 will be an improvement.
