I've been downloading updates for my Ad-Aware SE Personal, Built 1.06r1, but notice there have not been any updates since 12/29/08.
Will download/updates still be available? Or must I delete AdAware after a very long relationship? Alice This post has been edited by gotaro: Jan 3 2009, 11:03 PM |

hi,
Ad-Aware SE is very old and not supported anymore, you need to update to ad-aware 2008. You need to uninstall SE and download the newest version, http://lavasoft.com/download_and_buy/produ...rison_chart.php Hope that helps, Casey -------------------- Think your computer is Infected? Then please perform a scan with Ad-Aware 8.1 - if this does not solve the problem then read this topic and follow the instructions. HJT logs go in the "Hijack This Forum ONLY".

If it's 2000, XP or Vista, then do as casey says, and upgrade to Ad-Aware 2008. If you're still running 98/ME then get back to me, and I'll give you your options!!  Looks like there was an manual definitions upgrade for SE today, but other people appear to have had problems with it........... This post has been edited by Jaheira: Jan 6 2009, 03:19 PM |

Hi,
Manual updates are still available for SE, as you seem to be aware however these are not on as great a frequency as the 2007/8 updates. Especially over the Christmas break. We would, however, recommend that you upgrade to a newer version ASAP. -------------------- If you are a paying user (Plus/Pro License) you should visit the Lavasoft Support Centre.
If you need help to remove an infection: Read this first. Follow ALL the steps in it. If you do not then you will just be asked to go away and do so. Then post your HJT log (copy and paste, don't attach) into a NEW topic in the HJT Log Forum Await advice from either a Volunteer Security Advisor or a member of Lavasoft staff. If you see anyone other than a VSA or Lavasoft staff member giving advice in the HijackThis forum please PM a mod. DO NOT POST HJT LOGS IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE OFFICIAL HJT LOG FORUM. We will be unable to deal with them there and will just tell you to go to the right place. Please do NOT bump HijackThis log posts, it won't help you receive help any faster - the VSAs look for posts with zero replies. If after one week you have not received a response please repost your log file in a NEW thread. |

I tried installing the latest definitions and my SE Personal locks up my computer. It appears you and I will have to remove this version and install 2008 to use Ad-Aware in future. |

Zeigbot, check my reply to you in the previous post you commented in (and maybe reply so the situation can be more accurately assessed!!).
QUOTE Manual definitions have only worked with 2000/XP/Vista since last May, so I suspect you're running one of these. If so, then maybe the latest manual update is corrupted (as has happened several times before) and you'll need to wait for the next one to become available later in the week. If you're running 2000/XP/Vista, then there's absolutely no reason for you not to upgrade to Ad-Aware 2008 (and a 1001 good reasons to do so!!). But if you really have to stick with SE, then the update you commented upon is probably corrupted and the next update will probably resolve the problem (as has happened before!!). |

It simply isn't able to deal with threats from newer malware. Therefore there is absolutely no reason not to upgrade to a newer version unless, of course, you're using an older OS. The problems you mention with 2007 and 2008 can be negated by the fact that there have been problems (with the current definitions for example) with SE. Nostalgia won't protect your machine from malware! This post has been edited by Jaheira: Jan 8 2009, 05:50 PM |

Thanks and please keep the updates coming p.s. I find that new updates for SE are released on monday/tuesday and on fridays. |
