As Ad Aware is no longer supporting that version, you should probably look
into Super Antispyware and/or Malware Bites. Meanwhile, Here are some old
directions on how to manually update Ad Aware from Erin Edgar which I held onto.
Hi,
I received these steps for manually updating AdAware 6 via another e-mail
list and have used them with good results.
Steps for manually updating Add Aware.
1 Paste this link into your web browser.
"http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip";
2 When the download dialog box comes up just tab over to open and hit enter.
3 There should be only 1 file in this zip folder. Highlight it with the arrow
key and push control c to copy it to the clipboard. By the way the name of
the file you are looking for is called "defs.ref".
4 Now hit the Windows key and the m key to go to the desktop.
5 Hit the m key until you find my computer. Hit the enter key now and arrow
down to your C drive and hit enter again.
6 Hit the p key until you hear program files. Then hit enter here.
7 Now hit the l key until you hear Lavasoft. Now you can hit enter to go in
to this folder.
8 Now hit the arrow key you should hear some thing like Ad-Aware SE Personal,
go ahead and hit enter here.
9 Last but not least go ahead and paste the file that you have in the
clipboard with a control v key.
10 You can close all of the Windows you currently have open, and run Add
aware to make sure the updated file was installed correctly.

Subject: problems with ad aware se personal
hello list.
i am running windows xp with jaws 10 and ad aware se personal.
my problem is this:
i can't seem to get it updated.
i go to the web update and when it connects to the server it comes back
with the error saying that there has been a problem and can't retrieve the
update.
can anyone advise on how to get this updated or if there is another version
of ad aware and jaws scripts that works well?
