Hello!

I'm having similar problems to what nikyu28 was having... I just reinstalled windows due to some major issues and when I installed Ad-Aware I still can not update it (that was NOT why i reinstalled though )

Every time I click on update though I get:

----------------------

Update
No connection to download server

Suggested Action
Check internet connection

----------------------

In addition, when I run Spybot after restarting (having to put all those drivers back on), I get a zlog.dnschaner and I notice that any yahoo/google/msn searches do not link to what they should. I have a feeling this same problem is keeping me from connecting to the microsoft servers to update my version of windows.

Any help?

*Edit : I forgot to mention I WAS able to snag the zip core file off the site, but now after I dropped it in the folder it needs to be in, I get an "up to date" msg, but it still reads def 122.

I just ran a hijackthis and here's the log file:
