Hi to everyone!
I saw that Lavasoft's guys have just released a new definition file called 0146.0008, but it seems to me that it's available only for the the Anniversary Edition.
Am I right? I hope...I'm wrong about that!
I mean, I hope that Lavasoft will take care about the "old" customers, giving us at least the possibility to stay up to date with the latest virus definition.

Thanks and bye,
Stefano.

I think ad-aware 2008 will accept the new updates, yes.

Obviously there will be some transition period where LS will support 2008 and AE.

Hi Casey and many thanks for your reply.
I'll give a try...in case it does not work, can I manually go back to my previous virus definition?
For manually I mean, copying back the old "core.aawdef" into my C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware.

Bye and thanks,
Stefano.

no problem, let me know if it works or not.

You could, but i wouldn't recommend it! It'd be out of date - thus you wouldn't be fully protected.

okay Casey, I'll give a try.

Thanks again,
Stefano.

Hi Casey, I want just you to know I had "NO" problem with the latest virus definition file that I was asking for...
Thanks again for your assistance,

Bye,
Stefano.

Ad-Aware 7, the 2008 Edition, updates to 146.0008 just fine. I just clicked update - too easy?

okay mate...and let me ask you a question.
Does it appear any kind of advertisement pop-up when you first launch the application or when even you just finish to install the definition update?

Thanks and bye,
Stefano.

There is the usual pop-up to upgrade to AE on launch. I just click NOPE and proceed.

I have the same problem...anyway I finally found the .exe that is called to launch the advertisement.
It is FreeUpdate.exe (C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware), I blocked it with Defence+ (Comodo) and I stopped it.

Bye and I hope this will help you too,
Stefano.
