The free version of Ad-Aware has stopped updating since 19th September when the latest issue was SE IR124.19.9. You are not properly protected. Either go for the paid version or look for something else. [edit] Paid version gets downloads but I'm told they don't install. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Thanks for posting this Jaybee. I was wondering why I was only able to install 34% of the latest update. Now I know!

- If you look above it doesn't look like the update is supposed to stall. People above report that it updated just fine.... Sounds like you have another problem.

I just updated mine with no issues too...

jaybee Posts: 14320 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: ANYONE USING ADAWARE FREE - 10/7/2006 6:36:54 I don't use Adaware, stopped about 3 years ago when I had some major problems with it. My OH still can't get it to install, just locks up. I don't have a link as such Bobby. A friend on another board had found problems, searched for a fix and discovered a lot of people having trouble. He got in touch with "Lavasoft" and was told that the whole thing had been sold and they weren't updating the free version but that the paid version would continue as normal. That's when OH went to check and hasn't been able to get the install to work on his paid copy. Harv says his seems to install, goes to 100% but when he checks he still has the previous version number, it hasn't installed the new one. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

I only use mine occasionally though and never got round to setting up the scheduled scan thingy - I switch to Ewido a month or so ago that does everything all in one, and seems to do it okay. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

What I used to do is uninstall the program and download it again giving me the latest definitions. It took a couple more minutes that way but was worth it.
