Lavasoft's Adaware Versions and Updating ref Siljaline's note

[CGB]

Forgive me if it's been covered. I've been out of the loop for a while.
I run Adaware SE Vers. SE1R209 17.12.2007 and on running it today, I find
it can't connect for the updates when I tell it to do that. I saw a note
from SILJALINE re: updating and note that there is now Ad-Aware 2007 Free.
Has this replaced SE and if I download it and install it, will it solve my
update problems?

Running XP Service Pack 2

Uninstall older version before installing newer vers.?

Thanks.

Chet

I would advise keeping Ad-aware SE, that is what I run.
SE *must* be manually updated.

There have been several posts about this, and many of us with XP had no luck
with moving up to the 2007 version, and either re-installed "SE", or found
other programs to use.

People have also reported that adaware 2007 and Spybot SD do not seem to
play well together.

No, it *is* possible to have updated automatically!

In case you're unable to locate David's post here is a copy :-)

Since Ad-aware SE no longer gets updates by itself, I am providing a way
for those interested to automate the download process.

You can create a batch file such as below which uses the GNU WGET utility
and the UnZip utility by Info-ZIP.

The following assumes Ad-aware is in; C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware

@echo off
cd "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware"
wget -N http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip
unzip -j -o defs.zip

Then you can use the system Task Scheduler to run the batch file whenever
you want it to.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm a little late thanking you all, sorry.
Based on what I've read, I think I'll follow Siljiline's advice and stick
with the SE
