New edition of Ad-Aware http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-Anniversary-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?tag=contentMain

Ta muchly. 

[Noreen]

People on "my" American forum who've installed that latest Ad-Aware version aren't happy with it and it's being removed. They say that it's bloated and doesn't allow you to choose the place of installation.

[Rik]

It does seem to have lost its way lately, as so often happens.

[Noreen]

Now seen a new post on that forum in which someone states that it is possible to specify where to install the new Ad-Aware but it's in a small print "custom install" and easy to miss.

How right you are, Rik. Just look at Nero!

Nero is becoming like it's namesake, fat and useless.
