New AdAware (free)
Hi Gary:
That you for pointing this out to me. I was naively assuming that def files for Ad-Aware SE would continue to run on Win 9x/ME systems. As you say, it doesn't make sense to change the def file to drop Win 9x/ME support, when the only purpose of continuing to use Ad-Aware Se is to run on these older systems. Most users with Win 2000, XP, and Vista PCs have moved to the newer Ad-Aware 2007/2008 versions of Ad-Aware. I'm sorry if I caused any confusion by suggesting that the Ad-Aware SE updates would continue to run on Win 9x/ME. Cheers, O.J. "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ... That's nice, and would be extremely useful but for the fact that for many folks, and starting only within the last few weeks, the downloaded DEFs aren't working in '9x systems. And, in fact, if you read the DEF file itself, it no longer includes Win9x versions in its list of applicability, though none of it makes much sense, really. Why bother to continue supporting AdAware SE with updates for some OSes, including NT4, and not all OSes that can run SE? Anyway, this is from the thread immediately previous to this one, "Ad-Aware" (thanks to philo for finding the info): http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/...encefile.shtml -- Gary S.

New AdAware (free)
Fact is, I don't know for sure what's going on, or even that the new DEFs
won't run on ANY 9x system. I don't know that the DEFs file for Win9x is different than for NT-based systems. Just haven't heard any reports of success on 9x since the topic came up, and that link is the first indication by anyone "official" that something may indeed have been changed. -- Gary S.
