I downloaded the SE1R247 release, May 13, 2008 def file, for the SE version today from the security blog, unzipped and installed it, and found that it was corrupted. I got an error message when I tried to open Ad-Adware. Repeated procedure and got the same error. Solution: reinstalled last weeks def file and found the program works.
It seems that Lavasoft didn't troubleshoot this week's def file. Hope next week's def file works.

I have the same problem. After installing the update, I got an error screen that would not instantly close. I rebooted my computer and tried to access my home page, but all the screen does is click, click, click, click and then it says webpage unavailable. Unistalling Adaware 2007 does not fix the problem so my guess the install corrupted a file within Internet Explorer or tagged my Home Page as invalid. I managed on one of my computers to get my home page to load so I know the site is valid. Its just that the other 4 computers are still screwed up..

You have to download the def updates from the security blog and then unzip and install the defs. Bloody inconvenient, but it seems to work and has been that way since SE support was "discontinued". But, not this week! |

What I find is slightly different: the update works (I mean: apparently), but it doesn't track tracking cookies and it doesn't neither block nor delete them.
Backed up to previous update which works ok. Btw: AD Aware SE Plus is way better than 2007 IMHO -------------------- è´µ

However, it will soon be disconintued entirely; Ad-Aware 2008 is out in beta, and it is coming along really well, and will soon be relaesed, although there is no set date yet. -------------------- PM for support will not be answered, please post in the appropriate forum, thank you.

Are you downloading the zip file manually and extracting it to the AdAware folder after renaming the current def file to old.def. This usually works for me, and was ok on the previous def which was SE1R247 13.05.2008, but not this current one SE1R249 15.05.2008. This has happened before, and I had to wait till the next update, and I normally found that it would be ok then, so I will need to wait for a future update after the 15.05.2008 |

This has happened before, and I had to wait till the next update, and I normally found that it would be ok then, so I will need to wait for a future update after the 15.05.2008 I'm running SE Plus on three PC's. Two of them are still able to download and install automatically. But one has automatic download issues (see other thread) and so I download & install manually on this one. I keep ALL of the manual downloads (since 28th April 2008) and I don't swap-out the defs.ref.old file, which is still probably 23rd April-ish. On all three PC's, AdWatch has been working fine on both SE1R247 and SE1R249. (What happened to SE1R248? Did I blink and miss it? LOL) Scans by both SE Plus AND Spybot S&D on all three PC's have found nothing to remove....just the usual MRU's.
