wrong date displayed for latest reference file 0042.0000 Options

[Moby Duck]

Ad-Aware 2007 downloaded the latest reference file today. Why on earth does the update date stubbornly indicate 28.12.07 when it should be 02.01.08 or something which corresponds to TODAY'S date?



During the scan, Ad-Aware says that it is scanning with the current file 0042.0000, and the definition file itself (core.aawdef) bears the name "0042.0000" - I checked.
Finally, Ad-Aware 2007 takes double the amount of time to scan (which I can understand since it is a more thorough engine), and it also declares that the scanner is busy and that an error/problem has taken place if I want to run a scan right after downloading the reference file (that happened today). I terminated the program via task manager, opened the program again and it was able to scan. Glitchy software indeed.

Hi
I find that after downloading the latest definition file, I have to close the program, then reopen it and it will have the right date on it. That is the only thing I can fix with the program.....

Hi floplo (and all those who have read the above): when I encountered further problems in connection with definition files (Ad-Aware crashing after downloading and installing the latest def file), I opened a separate post which you can find it here:

Spike_nz answered; s/he says that it is a normal problem and is being worked upon. We've just got to keep our computers, er, eyes peeled for more info (cf. afore-mentioned post).
