Has anyone had a problem downloading the latest definition update for Ad-Aware. I keep locking up and then get a message stating a corrupt file.

Thanks

tommyk,

I have updated to SE1R53 dated 07/07/2005 without any problem. As far as I can tell this is the latest update and mine went fine.

Hope you get it worked out,

i have the similar problem... i updated it by downloading the defs.ref file from adaware website...

4

I've noticed with MSAS that the defs seem to say 5727, even when I updated to 5733 today. But the Help > About says 5733. Weird.

tommyk,

I have to take back my "I didn't have any problems", :unsure: in a previous poste. I came into the office today and tried to update the computer here and it would not work. I ended up by having to download the file on their site and install it myself. Have no idea what the problem is.

Have a good day,

DELETE PREVIOUS DEFS.

C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal

delete "defs.ref" and don't worry you'll get it back through update. then

open ad-aware> you'll get warning

"Error while loading the Ad-Aware definition file"

click ok> Ad-Aware opens>click check for update. it works 100%.

berdy,

When I saw your previous post I tried it, did not work, the only way I could get it to work is to download the "defs" from their site and install them myself. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

Hi Normandie

Strange! it always works for me. I tried it just right now and it worked.

BTW. have you used any reg cleaning program recently.

berdy,

Just CCleaner as usual. When I downoaded the ZIP from their site and installed it manually all was fine.

Hi

I know . manual update works for all programs not ad-aware only. For example I do manual update for Ewido always because I use it uninstalled (through USB flash).

but I'm thinking that the reg link to ad-aware folder could be corrupted.

can you please try it now. and see. if it doesn't work you can restore the defs from recyclebin. thanks

berdy,

On the computer I am working with right now your system worked fine. I will have to wait and try it on the other computer at the office tomorrow. That is the one that would not update this morning.

Have a good day,
