[Update] Ad-Aware 6 build 181

Dont know if you lot have updated to this latest version but I have noticed the speed increase in searching that Lavasoft are claiming.........

New in Ad-aware 6 Build 181

Speed – More comprehensive and up to 400% faster than any previous 6x release.

Smart scan mode – Improves speed even further and has been optimized to detect content at the root level enabling fast and efficient maintenance scanning.

Improved In-depth scan – More effective while reducing CPU resources.

Improved deep registry scan – Faster with additional registry coverage that can detect dynamically created registry keys.

Conditional scanning – Improving speed by allowing Ad-aware to decide when and where additional scanning is needed based on a previous detection during the scanning process.

HOSTS file scanning – Newly discovered exploit that uses HOSTS file editing to facilitate browser hijacking has been countered with this addition. Now Ad-aware has the ability to scan, backup, remove, and restore known references from your HOSTS file.

More efficient reference file usage – Ad-aware can now read and use more detailed information stored in the reference file.

Improved Browser Hijacker detection – Better detection for known and newly discovered Browser Hijackers.

Improved log file output – More comprehensive reporting for better record keeping.

Yup, the HOSTS thing is needed, I know of at least one program that modifies it and many people might not notice.
