(CSI) Technology
Oh great....it pokes holes in human bodies in slow-mo and close detail with squishy sound effects....all in the guise of technobabble and B-Grade TV entertainment erstwhile known as 'schlock'.
[my crit on CSI in one sentence]...

From what I read many people are reporting problems with Vista.

Yes, it is constantly crashing for me. I see there was a new update, but that solved nothing.

I've used Ad-Aware going on three years now, have kept it udated and have never experienced any problems. I'm not running Vista. That is not to say that there are not conflicts with other programs you may be running. Have you gone to their forums to see if others have identifed the same problem? Having been there the forums are pretty much like here, if a problem is identified other users of the software usally come to the rescue. Good Luck.

I am running on Vista.
My computer does not crash but Ad-Aware finds things but does not remove them. Instead it
crashes Ad-Aware itself. Update did not help
