Hi,
I have the old AdAware1.06rl. It is no longer supported (no updates). Does
the new one work with Windows 98?

If I remember correctly, Gary got you setup fairly well. If you need another
SpyWare package, some could be suggested I'm sure.

Wow, maybe we should first establish whether you are the old [poster not
age] Angel.

The first thing is to determine what is presently installed to work from...

What's installed?
Anti-Virus
Other SpyWare/Malware Protection
Firewall
Any mail protection programs

Something not addressed above?

AND has AdAware been finding any SpyWare/Malware installations previously
[not cookies]?

MEB,
Yes, I am the (authentic Angel) or as you say, "the old poster". I have just
been away for a while because of an auto accident on January 6th, 2008, hit
by a car. Long story!! Just getting back to using the old computer.

I have the old Spybot 1.4, Avast and the old version of AdAware 1.06rl.
I am using a 2Wire from ATT.
All the AdAware found are cookies.

BTW, ATT has raised their rates for Internet by $5.

You can uninstall AdAware. It's worthless on Win9x now that they've stopped
providing updates.

Hello:

Ad-Aware 1.06r definitions can still be downloaded manually from the
Lavasoft web page:
http://www.lavasoft.com/support/securitycenter/blog/ or click on:
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip .)

Look in the upper right hand corner and clock the link for Ad-Aware SE and
download it
directly into the main program install folder for Ad-Aware SE and unzip it.

There was also a batch file utility that was written to help streamline this
process.

See the post below by David H. Lipman:
(Note that download.lavasoft.de.edgesuite.net/public/defs.zip should be
changed
to: http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip .)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The latest Ad-aware definitions are at the URL;
http://download.lavasoft.de.edgesuit...ublic/defs.zip
You can then download; wget.exe http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/
and; unzip.exe - http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/unzip.exe

Place; unzip.exe, wget.exe and the DLL files in the Windows directory
[ %windir%; c:\windows ]


Then you can use a batch file such as...


Update.BAT
------------------
@echo off
wget -N http://download.lavasoft.de.edgesuit...ublic/defs.zip
copy defs.ref defs.bak
unzip -j -o defs.zip


Save the BAT file in the folder where Ad-Aware.exe is located and then
create a link
(LNK) file on the DeskTop that points to the BAT file for a manual update.


You could also create a scheduled MS Tasker JOB to use the BAT file to
perform an
automated periodic update.

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):
