Hi Silj,

I am running Adaware 2007 and have been collecting the def files
via the mirror site each time that you announced that a new def
for 2008 was released. Until today everything went well but not
so today.

It would appear that there is something wrong with the current
def file as 2007 crashes with an undefined error. I have sent a
number of crash reports to Lavasoft. The only solution I have
is to delete completely 2007 and then re-install it. That works
but unfortunately leaves me with a 2007 def file.

I tried re-booting to see if that resolved the issue but that
slowed the boot up process very much and asked me to send a crash
report again. That left the delete and re-install as the only
workable option.

The core.awdef file that is causing the problem is dated
22/12/2008 if that helps to identify it.

I don't see why AAW 2007 should be an issue at this time!
Best bet is to post your problem to the LS Board.
However painful...

Good Luck...

Hi Silj,

I checked the forum and it seems that I am not alone in seeing
this problem. The only solutions suggested is to switch to 2008
which I had tried and found had problems for me.

Maybe it is time to switch to another program - do you have any
suggestions?

That's a tough call, JC - there's so much out there to choose from.

You could always "upgrade" to AAW 2008 (your option).
