The program seems to be a resource hog, but only while its scanning. CPU
intensive on my machine. but again, only while its actively scanning your
system.

Lyn.
I've had Ad-Aware SE for a good while. It doesn't run all the time, just
when you run it manually, so it isn't taking up resources all the time. Must
be something else slowing you down. Could it be a virus? Do you have virus
protection software such as Norton's Or McAfee's?
Also, if you are getting disconnected a lot, sounds like you need to talk to
your ISP's support or hunt another one.

Hello Group,
Just been sitting in the background for a while, but have enjoyed everyone's
point of view on a variety of subjects.
Ad-Aware SE......is this a resource hog? I am still in the dark ages with
HAL, running 98SE 120mb RAM.
I love the program but since loading it sloooowww is what I have. Apart from
that my ISP is about to get an earful. I am getting the chop more than the
local butcher and each reconnection is costing money.......... that's apart
from the frustration of downloading 180 of 181 emails, then dropping out and
starting again.
I deleted my old connection and found a connection for something named "NV"
which had a dial up number 555-555. I know I didn't put it there. Any
clues.? Tried several times to do an online scan for nasties but can't stay
on long enough. Any pearls of wisdom will be appreciated,
Lyn
