Hi All
Installation of ADWare 2007 after long use of earlier version worked OK first time on my Windows XP SP2 system.
Next time showed error 1810 Service is not online application terminates
Is this a know problem??
Help appreciated
Jimbo
AdAware is pretty much defunked anymore! You'll be better off to see this and pick a new Adware program! List of Lists

And I am certain the more learned of this board will have plenty of options for you.
Adaware has been in the news this good while and they just aren't worth it anymore.
Jimbo,
Did you get this error sorted?
I followed the numerous "error" messages and problems users were reporting at the Lavasoft support forum with the new Adaware2007 for months when it was first released.
I have chosen to stay away from Adaware 2007 given the history of problems reported, and have recommended my family members to do the same.
I did a quick search over there and found ppl still reporting that same error 1810. Maybe these will help?

If the links above aren't helpful, I would encourage you to search the Lavasoft support forums further, to get an idea of the "possible" issues/problems that could be encountered, so you can make a more informed decision.
Otherwise, should you have questions concerning alternatives/replacement options, please feel free to ask.

Unfortunately, no
the basic problem seems to be that Adaware 2007 is not actually installing
therefore the solutions you found for me ( thanks ) do not work because the program is not listed in the Services list
Currently after getting the same result form different site downloads it is giving error msg 1920 Service failed to start as you do not have sufficent admin
privliges.
I think I need a ( free ) alternative, noting your own view of Adware! ( it served me well in the past but now ...... )
Your further advice would be much appreciated
Jimbo

Appreciate your return comment on your progress or lack thereof.
This link has a list of info, w/ brief descriptions/links to products...scroll down to:
Free adware, spyware and malware removal products
http://www.geocities.com/dontsurfinthenude/spyremoval.htm
Also you might want to scroll down further, and note the issues w/ on-demand vs on-access scanners in the appendix:
Appendix: Real-time and on-demand scanners
(Included in the appendix at the bottom is a link concerning the Adaware service, unfortunately it's going to take you back to the Lavasoft forum again, but might give you more info.)
Not listed directly on that page, but elsewhere, are "immunization" programs that provide more passive protection, which is effective for not utilizing alot of resources. Examples of these would be SpywareBlaster and/or Spybot, and another to consider would be WinPatrol.
WinPatrol has many useful options (free too) monitors your system, alerts of new programs wanting to be added to start ups, blocks cookies & spyware, shows what's running on your system, start up delayer & can be used to shut down programs.
Depending on what you already have installed and your surfing habits (I am not asking about those habits btw (https://www.landzdown.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kolobok.us%2Fsmiles%2Fartists%2Fmini%2Fconnie_mini_girlwinky.gif&hash=94d97a186b9280f5ae1b4d4ff957be075f11df16) ), look over this list and see what might replace your Adaware2007.
The error leading to another error w/ the new Adaware is frustrating, and frankly too time-consuming for me to futz around. Others have been able to get Adaware2007 to work, I suppose you can keep searching on the 1920 error...your mileage may vary.
Post what you already have for protection on that XPSP2 machine, or review that list and see if there are further questions. I am sure others will have comments as well.
