Ad-Aware and Windows are both crap

It's bloatware, just like Windows itself.

Ad-AwareInstall.exe
File Version:  8.3.0.0
121 MB (127,720,640 bytes)
Required Disk Space for installation:  242,528 KB

Are you fucking kidding me, Lavasoft?  This is the price of using Windows, utilities that run a quarter-gig and eat cycles just to keep shit running like they should anyway?  This isn't even a comprehensive solution; anti-virus and firwall duties aren't covered by this software.

Microsoft Windows truly is garbage that inspires both individuals and companies to produce garbage software to run on it.

I just ran the installer to see how much temp file space it used, before even installing.

387,985,408 bytes.

So the installer itself is 127,720,640 bytes
the installer temp files are 387,985,408 bytes
and it needs 242,528 KB (translates to 248,348,672 bytes) for the final installation.

You want to clean your Windows installation, *NOT* counting viruses?

764,054,720 bytes needed.  3/4 GB.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
