adaware ...core engine busy?

steveo3002

my adaware is saying " core engine busy"

ive also had it jamm mid scan recently

just re installed it and still the same

any suggestiosn please

aliEnRIK

Uninstall it completely

Use MALWAREBYTES to scan instead

Yup Ad-Aware is so last year

steveo3002

right thanks guys...installed that

anything else to consider to keep my comp clean?

aliEnRIK

Superanti spyware (free edition)
Spybot (use the immunise feature as well as scanning)

and if you dont have an anti virus? AVIRA or AVAST

CCLEANERS good for general cleanup

steveo3002

ive got

AVG
spybot
ccleaner
malwarebites

aliEnRIK

AVG isnt classed as very good anymore
AVAST would be better
AVIRA would be faster but it doesnt have email scanning (But if you open a dodgy attachement, it would stop it anyways)
I vote Avira personally

steveo3002

is avira free ?

so get shot of avg and get avira or avast then?

i notice if i click on the remove avg , it says something about deleting the virus vault , would that let anything its caught back into the comp?

thanks

aliEnRIK

Theyre both free
Deleting the virus vault will remove the nasties (As in theyre gone ~ NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT)
