As Bear says, the free version is free indefinitely, it's not a trial
version.
FWIW, in my experience (YMMV) Ad-Aware 2007 appears to be hard-coded to
display in 1024x768, so if it's used in safe mode with the default VGA
driver, it's a little difficult to see all of its windows and control
buttons (no scroll bars). It still works fine in safe mode, but it's
easier if you become familiar with the interface in normal mode before
trying to use it in safe mode.

You have the free version. Nothing to compain about.
I hope that everybody has finally figured out how
to get the free 2007 version and everyone is
protected.
I always ran AW at least weekly and usually
nothing was found except an occasional tracking
cookie. But the first time I ran the updated 2007
version it found way over 100 tracking cookies,
and a similar number on my laptop.
They must have broadened the definition of a
tracking cookie, so that now it removes stuff that
the old SE version ignored.
I really appreciate products such as AW and AVG
and SpyBotSD and others that make their products
available without cost to home users. I fear that
the internet would be unusable without them.

Capitalism and fuzzy internet marketing at work here.
The other download button is for a 12-month free trial (with lots of
strings, I'm sure) of Ad-Aware 2007 Plus (FKA Ad-Aware Pro).

Ad-Aware has never included real-time protection.
