Hi, Max. I'm not sure how I find that information from the AdAware
screen. Following Moti's message, I downloaded the January 14
definitions file, and even though I got no confirmation that the
unzip was successful, my programs\Lavasoft folder shows it. However,
when I run AdAware again, I get the message saying my definitions
are out of date, while the latest update reflected in status is December 27.
I wonder if you, Moti, Yardbird or Matthew, all of whom have looked
into this, experience anything different. Perhaps my system is
protected, despite this inconsistent information. I just can't be sure.

You will know if you are still being protected by looking at the
date of the definition file being used from the Ad-Aware screen. You
will need to check each week to get the latest file. Max..

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.

Hi, I do not have the program installed as I am using windows vista
and not 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>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
