AD-Aware SE updates

[bill30955]

Hello Forum. Every time I run Ad-Aware SE free edition I get a message telling me that my definitions are old. Today it said 16 days old. Do you want to update now? I say yes , it connects and it says there are no updates to download.  I faithfully updated them every Monday. But now, everytime I go to update they say there are no updates. Should I remove the program and then reinstall or is it true that there are no updated definitions right now. I have WIN XP , IE 6.0, lots of disk space. Everything else is updated. AVG etc. I tried Spybot but it doesn't perform as well as Ad-Aware.  Is anyone else having this problem with Ad-Aware SE?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The SE version is being phased out this month and will no longer have updates...travel to their site and DLoad and install the new Free Edition.

P.S. You should still use Spybot as they track 2 different things......

New free edition is called Ad-aware 2007

Hello Forum> Thanks for info. I downloaded Ad-Aware 2007. It uninstalled  the older SE edition. Also , how is Spybot different from Ad-Aware ?  I thought they did the same thing. And is it always better to have both?  Spybot runs much slower.   Thanks again.

is it always better to have both?

Yes. Often, one will pick up stuff, missed by the other.
