Re: aawservice.exe always running?

aawservice.exe is the executable file that is the heart of the AAW2007 engine. The service is required if you want the program to operate fully. Current malware operates at the kernel level, or even as rootkits, so to fight those you have to be at the same level they are.

Right click on “My Computer” and click Manage. you will able to see management console on your screen then navigate to the Services option. you can see services running in the right hand panel,point to the Ad-Aware service then click on the Stop button.once you stop the services it never appear in the task manager.
