Ad-Aware SE troubles

Has anyone using Ad-aware SE noticed when the programs loads the last two
latest de files have been corrupt? I've not change the way I've gotten the
file nor the way I extract the file. Haven't change download managers so I
know for sure that can't be it. I even tried two different sites with no
luck.

No issues to report with the last 2 defs updates downloaded from here -
http://www.lavasoft.com/download_and...tion_database/

Which download manager is being used and have you tried d/ling them from
the above page ?

In concurrence with Mow's reply, no problems here either.
It must be a local issue.

I stand corrected:
There is no problem downloading, but loading the program produces an error
message of either no load, or corrupt files.
We'll have to wait and see, if it's being fixed.

Nope, haven't tried that link yet. I've been using
http://www.lavasoft.com/support/securitycenter/blog/ to get them.

I use a program called Free Download Manager. I'll try that link right now.

Mewtwo,
I cannot address the problem you are having with AdawareSE, but, did
want to FYI that I dumped Adaware some time ago because of the way it was
becoming bloated with the paid version's files even when they cannot be used
with the free version! I am not saying you should dump it as I did,
however, I have found another free app that has received a lot of good press
and I am having a very good experience with it myself , and that is:
Spyware Terminator.
www.spywareterminator.com
I set the program to the 'advanced' or 'experienced' mode to start,
while it was learning what should be allowed and not. This results in a LOT
of popup windows asking what I wanted to do. After a day or two, these
rarely show up and only if something new has been added or used. I am not
using the 'Internet Protection' feature, as I have other things doing this
function. This app has a built in AV that is updated daily and it runs in
perfect harmony with Avast! AV, so, it is like double
protection........never had a conflict of any kind. (can't vouch for any
other AV).
Just an FYI, only my opinion, FWIW, YMMV and all the other
disclaimers.....
Heirloom, old and it works for me

Thanks Loom, but I've got to stay with Ad-Aware 'cause it along with Spyware
Blaster and SpyBot are the only three that JAWS will work with without too
much trouble. AVG also is fine with my screen reader.

I'm still getting the same error message and suspect they dropped their
support for WinME. I plan on doing without it.
SuperAntiSpyware, free addition, seems like a good substitute.

that's 'edition', of course. H.

Just updating my situation.

I've not uninstalled Ad-aware, just temporarily retired it. Now, using
SpyBot Search & Destroy in concert with Spyware Blaster and the MVP's hosts
file, I should be well and protected right?

I stopped using SpyBot 'cause of that darned TeaTimer. It kept mucking
everything up and I didn't know how to turn the blasted thing off.
Fortunately, you can uncheck that during the install.

I'm just glad that AVG's updates aren't doing the same thing.
