For some reason I can't update and my definitions are now over 100 days old. Any ideas?

Do you have Ad-Aware 2007? If so please follow the steps below:

Here is the temporary fix that we have come up with for the current update issues.

Win XP

Click Start then run and type or copy and paste the following into the textbox:



Press "Enter"

This should open the Ad-Aware 2007 folder. Locate "settings.aaw", right click the file and select "Delete".

Next run Ad-Aware 2007 when the program opens click "Settings" on the left side of the screen. Click "Read Settings" then click "Save Settings".
This will create a new clean "settings.aaw" file and should allow Ad-Aware 2007 to work properly.

Sadly, any settings you had set will be lost and you will have the default settings. Change your settings back to the way you prefer and click "Save Settings" again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.



If you have Ad-Aware SE please upgrade to Ad-Aware 2007
