aawservice.exe – File Information And Its Removal From The Start Up

The aawservice.exe is an application file and not a system file of the Windows. This aawservice.exe program is invisible and could be uninstalled using the “Add or Remove Programs” from the control panel. Since aawservice.exe can monitor other applications, the technical security rating has been reported to be 23% dangerous.

The most frequent issue related with the aawservice.exe is that the Ad-Aware 2007 starts this aawservice.exe which keeps running for all the while. Since it has no monitoring capability in the real time, it is more often unnecessary to have it running.

Since the aawservice.exe is necessary only when you perform a manual scan of your computer, it is better if you turn off the aawservice.exe auto load during the start up. The Ad-Aware 2007 workaround has effectively resolved the problem. In this, you must first enter the Service Management console by typing in “services.msc” in the Run command in the start menu. Then select the “Ad-Aware 2007 Service” from the list of displayed items and open it by double-clicking. Choose the “Manual” option in the Startup Type, click “Ok” and close the window.

Thereby, the aawservice.exe program will never be loaded at the start up of the Windows. This aawservice.exe will however will be auto loaded when the Ad-Aware 2007 is run. It will remain running even when the Ad-Aware 2007 is run but could be safely killed using the “End process” option in the Task Manager. And the method described above to prevent the auto load has proved to work in more than 90 percent of the cases.
