Thanks. I solved the installation problem but, as others have
written, the program continues to report that it hasn't been updated
for a certain period of time. So we have no reliable assurance that
we are being protected.

Matthew,
Thanks for doing something constructive to solve this problem.
However, I'm wondering whether you were able to get this method to
work. I followed the link you forwarded to the list and downloaded
the zip file. It wasn't set up to unzip into the Lavasoft program
files, so I unzipped it into my unzipped files folder and copied it
into the Lavasoft program files in My Computer. I opened AdAware,
performed a new scan and closed AdAware. Then I went to the Lavasoft
application in the programs under Start. I was advised that my
definition files are still eighteen days old.
I wonder if I'm doing anything wrong in the procedure I've outlined.
Either way, I would recommend that lavasoft do two things to make
this manual process more practical:
1. Ensure that the appropriate Lavasoft folder is specified for the
Unzip wizard.
2. Set up an email list to notify us when new definition files are available.
Again, many thanks. Please let me know if you see an error in the
procedure I describe.

Hello Matthew,
Please accept our sincere apologies for delays on developing our new product
so that it is compatible with your needs. As you know, we are addressing the
issue this year.
In the meantime, you are welcome to continue to use Ad-Aware SE Personal for
as long as we are able to provide updates to Ad-Aware SE's threat
database. Lavasoft plans to continue to provide updates to the
Ad-Aware SE threat database well into this year.
In order to continue to keep Ad-Aware SE Personal updated, you will
need to perform manual updates when new Definitions Files are
released. Here are the
instructions for performing a manual update for Ad-Aware SE:
- Close Ad-Aware SE.
- Download the latest Definitions File in ZIP format here
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip and save the file to a
temporary location. - Unzip the contents of the file either with a
ZIP utility or with the built-in support in Windows to the Ad-Aware
SE installation directory, which usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware
SE\".
- Open Ad-Aware SE.
- Confirm that the latest Definitions File is installed by checking the
"Initialization Status" in the main program window.
Best regards,
Erin Earley
