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.
