631447 2008-01-18 06:45:00 I notice the last update definition file is 27Dec2007. When I update I keep getting "no new update" yet Lavasoft site shows a more recent update. I downloaded that update and replaced the definition file. Then when I ran Ad-Aware SE the program tells me the definition file is 4000 odd days out of date. When I update again, it reverts back to the 27Dec2007 definition file.

Is Ad-Aware SE now totally replaced by Ad-Aware 2007?

Same issues applies on both XP & Win98 computers.

Anyone else having issues?

Really? If that is the case it doesnt help my Win98SE computer since Ad-Aware 2007 is not Win98 compatible.

Have just been to Lavasofts site and it has just been updated with the following:

There was a flaw in the latest definition update file (SE1R213) which reported Ad-Aware SE Plus, Pro and Enterprise’s definition file as being 730845 days out of date. This issue has now been resolved. Please update Ad-Aware SE to obtain the repaired file.

Will now update it.

631451 2008-01-18 07:53:00 It is my understanding that Ad-Aware SE Personal is to be/is discontinued, there will be no support for Win98SE and below.

<a href="www.lavasoft.de aware se personal</a>

Hmm can't make that link post correctly, just copy/paste the link to your address bar and see what you get.

631453 2008-01-18 09:58:00 Yes but my point was that the link that I posted was copied from Google where it was named as ad aware se personal but actually goes to Ad-Aware 2007 Free, so demonstrating what I originally posted. zqwerty (97)
631454 2008-01-18 19:15:00 So use another one on Win98 PCs. pctek (84)
631455 2008-01-18 20:09:00 While Ad-Aware SE Personal is still around and being updated then my Win98 computer is OK and I dont have an immediate issue.

Once that stops, what is an alternative to use (other than Spybot S&D ... which I also use)?

631456 2008-01-18 21:55:00 So I must have imagined that I read on a Tech site that Ad-Aware SE Personal was to be discontinued and the last update would be on 271207, and as I have seen to have happened on a Win98SE computer which I maintain for someone else on a regular basis.

Plus I have it on another boot of XP on my computer and it stopped updating.
