I wouldn't go near *any* suite with a barge pole.
A suite is normaly antivirus, antispyware and firewall.
Just because a company does one a good job at removing virus removal, does not mean they will do a good job at removing spyware or implementing a firewall.
Stick to seperate applications, you will have much greater control and security that way.

I suggest you try pressing control, alt,del ;open task manager,select processes and take a look at how much memory aawservices.exe is using before making that statement.I would also suggest anyone following your advice and installing Ad-Aware 7 do what I suggest before deciding to keep it.
I too used it on several machines prior to it's present one. The old ones were excellent .This one is a hog. You are of course welcome to your own opinion. I was giving mine.
I find it hard , however to believe the "thousands of machines"!A case of don't spoil a good story for the sake of the truth?
