Ad-Aware SE troubles

You might as well uninstall, because it's gone for WinME.
The Tea Timer can be controlled under ToolsResident check or uncheck.
Did you check out SuperAntiSpyware free edition?
It's a really nice alternative.

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.

Hm, tried it, but JAWS wasn't cooperating.

That's a whole new ball game.
I'm not familiar with 'JAWS', maybe someone else is.
May I ask why use this program, which apparently is interfering?

Harry, JAWS (for Windows) is a highly sophisticated (and IMHO, somewhat
expensive) 'Text-to-Speech/Screen Reader' utility made particularly for the
visually impaired.

Thank you Mart.
There ought to be a way to provide assistance in this matter, but it's
beyond my scope. Hope the poster gets it.

Hello:

Over in the Win 98 general discussion group, they seem to be speculating
that the latest Ad-Aware SE def files are for NT-based systems only, and
have dropped support for Win 98/ME systems - even though it makes little
sense to drop Win 98/ME support for Ad-Aware SE, since the users of it are
likely on these older systems. Most users of newer system, such as Win 2000,
XP, and Vista, have likely upgraded to Ad-Aware 2007/2008.

For what it's worth .....

Cheers,
O.J.

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.

Harry.

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.

Well ... the definitions dated 05-29-2008 and retrieved from
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip did not work on Windows
ME (as mentioned above).

Just tried retrieving a newer file dated 06-03-2008 from
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip. No joy,.

Obviously, whomever is making that file available for download doesn't
know what they're doing.

No use, Barb, they simply dropped support for WinME and I decided to do
without it.
