Ad-Aware worked fine on Win 8, but they kept bugging me to buy the paid edition. I just found out that it had turned off Windows Defender without informing me, and it would not allow me to turn Defender back on. I have deleted Ad-Aware and restored Defender.

Corrine, that's one of the best posts I have ever read. The company that now owns Ad-Aware has a history of deceptive practices, including selling free software to unsuspecting buyers and charging buyers for products they had not ordered.

You buy security software to be safe, right? So it's a good ides to delete Ad-Aware if you have it.

Thank you, Vince53.

Since I have not used AAW in many, many years, I think it is best if I refrain from commenting on its effectiveness. ;)
