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. |

In concurrence with Mow's reply, no problems here either.
It must be a local issue. Harry. "SSJ04 Mewtwo" wrote in message ... Has anyone using Ad-aware SE noticed when the programs loads the last two latest de files have been corrupt?

Ad-Aware SE troubles / Correction
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. Harry.

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. |

Ad-Aware SE troubles / Correction
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 "webster72n" wrote in message ...

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.

Ad-Aware SE troubles
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. "SSJ04 Mewtwo" wrote in message ...

Ad-Aware SE troubles
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. |
