Is anyone else having problems downloading new ref files?
I get a message that the program is not responding. I can't get to the
Ad-Aware site to do a manual download either.

Install to: C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6
If you would like to retain your old Ref file, *manually* rename to:
[ reflist.ref.old ]

I just tried and it seemed to connect but the message in my case was
"no updates available" which may well be the case.

Ad Aware switched to version 6 recently. Did you download and install
version 6?
Earlier versions can't get the V6) new updates . . .

I have version 6.81, that is not the problem. Something seems to be
blocking my access to the Ad-aware site.

I finally found a site that works!

They will even send you an e-mail when the program or reference file are
updated.

Silj I just finished downloading a new reference file about 2 minutes ago. I
was dated 9/4/2003. The last one I got before that was 9/1/2003. Have you
tryed again.

I often find that the new ref file does not download for 12 hours or so
after I get an e-mail announcing a new file. I usually wait till next day to
download. Maybe it's server load, with everyone who subscribes to the
Lavasoft announcements list trying to get the new ref file as soon as it is
announced.

Hi Ken,
Use this one: http://www.lavasoft.de/update/refs/reflist.zip
Also don't forget to check out their web site occasionally. You have to have
V6.181 to download refupdates now. Any earlier than that is now incompatible
with updates.
