For at least two weeks now I have been unable to update the defintions for my Ad-Aware SE 1.06r1. I followed the troubleshooting steps to delete the defs in the Program Files\Ad-Aaware folder. Didn't help. I then looked for the hosts file. No relevant entries. I also tried downloading the zip file, from both "old" and "new" URLs (http://update.ls-servers.com/public/defs.zip and http://updates.ls-servers.com/public/defs.zip). Both return "Server Not Found" in my browser.

I'm using Windows XP Pro with Symantec AV running, and Spybot S&D didn't find anything.

Post a hijackthis log. Also, I have attached SE1R154 19.02.2007 defs, unzip them to your ad-aware directory.

Hello

The definitions file for manual update is at http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip
