Yes, I get a similar message too that says my defs are 730384 days out
of date!!

I don't know how to deal with that problem.

Maybe someone here can help?

Probably because we're manually updating? It still scans and works OK,
right?

There was a flaw in the latest definition update file (SE1R213) which
reported Ad-Aware SE Plus, Pro and Enterprise’s definition file as being
730845 days out of date. This issue has now been resolved. Please update
Ad-Aware SE to obtain the repaired file.

Ad-Aware SE won't update but the manual method does fix the problem.
