I got the same strange message about the age of my files, but the scan turned up 43 new critical objects, so I guess it worked. Gary King w4wkz@xxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: G.W.

However in the Lavisoft Ad-Aware SE folder there is a file that says defs.ref.old besides one that says defs.ref. I don't think I'm wrong to infer the old designation means that I did put in a newer ffile. ---- Original Message ----- From: Yardbird To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 7:33 PM Subject: Re: Addaware 2007 with screenreaders Hi Matthew, I've downloaded and installed those updated definitions in what I believe to be the right folder, but when I launchAdAware, it tells me my definitions are hundreds of days out of date or something, and asks me if I want to check for updates. As if it isn't aware that updates have been installed. Just trying to humor it, I allowed it to go online and look. It said no updates available, of course. Now, the message below says to check the Initialization item in the interface to see whether o not the defs have been updated. But even with the good old scripts, tabbing around, I don't come upon any initialization tab or button, as I never did before, either. So what might I be doing wrong, or missing? Thanks. onlinme and ismstalled ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew" <mdyer1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <gw-info@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "'kizzy'" <FuzzyPurpleCouch@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 1:14 PM Subject: FW: Addaware 2007 with screenreaders Hi allm, I am sending this message from levasoft regarding addaware.

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.
