AAWService.exe is a process can automatically set to start and displayed on Windows Task Manager along with computer starts. It is the service related with the program named Ad-Aware., which is an anti-spyware developed by Lavasoft that detects and removes various infections on a user’s computer. Thus the AAWService.exe can be identified on Windows Task Manager since the Ad-Aware has installed on your computer. While, that the AAWService.exe process always running in the background, there is a trouble make computer users feel increasingly upset. Although you never gave AdAware 2007 (Plus/Pro) Free to run something, the AAWService.exe still has to load at every startup.
For one side, some computer users suppose the AAWService.exe can be a virus file for nowhere it is clearly explained what it exactly is or does, not in the Help of the Ad-Aware program itself on its board. As the PC performance increasingly degrades by and the AAWService.exe doesn’t let you change its priority in the Task Manager, the aawservice.exe is mistakenly thought as a virus resulted in such consequence. Taking this into consideration, to remove the aawservice.exe is too impatient to wait.
For another side, the implementation of Ad-Aware 2008/2007 as a Service facilitates this needed power and flexibility since a service runs with elevated rights on the system. This means that the user can work in user-mode while the Service maintains the elevated rights it needs in order to properly detect and remove malware infections. However, the AAWService.exe hogs the memory usage more than any other application, according to the task manager. Even if some computer users disable Ad-Aware from the task bar, it somehow enables itself again. Huge plenty CPU usages but actually is playing nothing greatly slowdown the computer. To lower resources a little some users have to remove the AAWService.exe.
