Dear Support members,
I try to download the Definition file updates from the Lavasoft homepage, since Nov. 9th there is no actual version available. Today I loaded down version 0149.0093 as ZIP-file, opend it and found the version from 9.11.09???? If I use the Web-Update I get the last version. Where is the fault, should I use an other download link? Many thanks in advance! P.S.: I use the Ad-Aware Free 8.1.1. |

Hi,
Version 149.0093 is indeed the latest version: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showforum=51 Maybe the date is simply wrong? Casey -------------------- Think your computer is Infected?

I've already brought this to Lavasoft's attention. Apparently there's a problem with the script they use to distribute the update file to all their servers. It's worked off and on for the 6-7 months I've been using AE, but this is quite a long stretch. It's not just the date - when core.aawdef is extracted, it's the exact same file size as 0149.0089 from November 9.

Yes, as visitor wrote, the number on the server (http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/securitycenter/blog) is 0149.0093, but the downloaded and unpacked file "core.aawdef" is from 9.11.09, file size 46.884.824.
The file downloaded via Web-Update is from 13.11.09, file size 48.134.168. Therefore, I reply my question: Where is the fault, should I use an other download link? This post has been edited by stophis: Nov 14 2009, 11:26 AM |

Web Update and download core.zip are the only 2 ways, they don't have a list of mirror downloads. I don't like Web Update since it also updates the program software - AE 8.0.3 has worked problem-free since first installed. It's frustrating that this has been unreliable for 7 months.

You could try here (it's an official mirror): http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Annivers....html?tag=mncol
Though I'm not sure how often they get updated there either. -------------------- 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".

Thanks for the link Casey, it's always nice to have an alternate. Unfortunately, for now, same problem - so either they download from the same Lavasoft link, or they're one of the servers affected by the faulty distribution. I'll keep trying CNET any time Lavasoft's link doesn't work.

 The problem seems to be solved, at least for the moment. The file in the the download area is the actual, I hope it will remain so. Thanks. This post has been edited by stophis: Nov 16 2009, 08:21 PM |

I downloaded the 0149.0098 and it was the actual.
The difference is the added folder [consolidate_core_output] in the ZIP-file, I hope it will remain so. |
