I've been getting an update error when I try to update Ad-Aware SE for several days. It gets to about 5% and then freezes. I turned off firewall, which I didn't have to do in the past and still have the problem. The problem started when I installed Internet Explorer 7. Did anyone experience a problem with Ad_aware and Internet Explorer 7 compatiblity?

Install the new minnor update that allows ad-aware to update while your ISP is using intentionally mis-functioning dns servers (such as earthlink's default dns servers)

Uninstall and install a new copy from the website. They fixed the update problem today. Be prepared to re-do any
option changes, etc. you made. Looks like they finally fixed it. Was old DNS entries or some such.
