the initial post was posted back in december , 2004 here:

Well safemode usually works for me or if its 2k/xp, if you goto task manager and right click a process you can set its priority to low. I just tried doing that a couple weeks ago and it worked pretty well, try it out.

that didn't help so that tells me that the program is dependent on a something in my opinion, however I may be wrong.

Uninstall Ad-Aware. Delete the Lavasoft directory (if it still exists.) Redownload Ad-Aware SE. Reinstall, boot into Safemode and try again. Post Results.

Safe Mode is usually fool proof when running any type of antivirus, or Spyware/adware tools. When the OS is in safe mode, only the minimum required drivers are loaded, and usually nothing is running in memory.

ok here's the deal first off when u say go to task manager u mean mstask.exe in system32 folder? 2nd of all I don't know why it won't work in safe mode, but it doesn't.
I will try this task manager trick of low priority that you all aree telling me to do and get back with you on it.
