Have you deleted any software recently; point being maybe you deleted a dll that is shared.
Nope! I had actually considered that, good question though.

This may be way off the wall, but I would run a complete Scandisk on your hard drive. I've had some troubles in the past (admittedly not with AdAware) where a bad or corrupt spot on my hard disk would cause system scans (such as a virus scan) to hang up. Usually a Scandisk can fix the issue.
Thought is probably way off base, but it's just something else to try for ya..
Hmmm... I think I'll give this a go. It's a distinct possibility. One thought though, doesn't Spybot look at DLL files? The Spybot scan completed, admittedly it was just a simple scan. I'll try a thorough scan with Spybot to see if it has the same problem. Then a scandisk & defrag. It'll have to wait till I get home though, so be patient waiting for me to post the results.

Actually I did just read a post on a similar thread, at the Lavasoft site, that indicated that could be a possibility.
Thanks for adding weight to that idea Relyt. You too Und3rtak3r!
EDIT
When I get home I'll see if I've been authorised to post on the Lavasoft forums. If I can I'll post there and post a link in this thread, along with any updates.
/EDIT
Hmmm No Offence MrBabis, but...
have you read the whole thread?
This is one of the first things I did! See my first post.

2) run you computer in failsafe mode.
3) start adaware and scan you computer / full system scan
I was doing this when I first encountered the problem. See my first post.

4) if it frized agane try cwsshredder and efter that repat step 3
I've tried Spybot and then repeated Adaware scan. See this post. I just might try CWShredder after I've tried:
1) Thorough Spybot scan and repeated Adaware scan.
2) Scandisk and defrag.
3) Help from posting on the Lavasoft forums.

you can also test you file with online antivirus and then try to do that agane.
Which file would that be? I know it's a DLL file but I haven't identified which one. Unfortunately, I failed my telepathy "A" Level. ;)
Thanks, however, I believe luck=Labour Under Correct Knowledge, and that's what I'm looking for ... the correct knowledge.
As I typed earlier, no disrespect intended!
