Adrian,
I'm not sure if I learned this from someone here or on another list
recently, but here's something that might help. Tab to the Status button on
the AdAware interface. Now, and I forgot quite how I managed this, maybe it
was by playing with the Jaws cursor or clicking on that button or both, but
try to open up the information that this button is meant to provide.
There'll be a list of report items here, and one of the very first ones will
show the date on which you installed those updates, in one of those European
style date formats that may mislead you for a moment until you hear the 08
and realize that you also just heard the day's date and 01 for January. Or
in a different and likely unaccustomed order. You'll see what I mean.
If you find this line, then I believe you're seeing that your update was
incorporated as you hoped it would be.
I know that all sounds a little vague, and that's how looking for this
information felt, too. But I think that's the ticket.
Hope this helps.

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.

sure if It will work.

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

Are there any plans to make the software to make it more accessible? I
understand thatthis is being worked on wih freedomscientific, but whart
about gwmicros window-eyess. I would like to know what is goiing on with the
program as a blind user myself.
Thnks agan for your time and effer to respond on the matter as I feel that
