heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

[Guest jeanette]

hello all,, specially heather the 'hill roaming tourist'.

 

hi guys,

if you recall, i mentioned a couple of weeks ago that i was having

problems getting adaware updated, it would get to 5% then simply

say Error.

 

since then i have re-installed it many times, but i still get the same

flipping error,,,,,,,,, its like a boomerang, just keeps coming back.

as it stands now, it seems i am 794days out of whack with updates,,

which is to naturally be expected after new install.

 

am i missing something, or is it now impossible to use adaware unless one

updates to the 'troublesome' 2007 version???

i refuse to put this one on due to the many problems i've heard about it,

and the fact that the adaware personell seem to be distancing themselves

from it? i dont know at all.

 

any help out there heather??

Hi Jeanette,

 

Have you tried Spybot Search and Destroy (Free)?

 

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

 

Not a solution but a good alternative.

 

Another one is SuperAntiSpyware (Free version for home users):

 

http://www.superantispyware.com/

 

Lavasoft is letting people down (see the lifelong free updates issues), so

you may be better served looking at these alternatives.

 

Good luck,

hi oops, (glad to see you too are a hill roamer, you n' heather will have

much to talk about....... ha ha.)

yes, i already have spybot, and spyblaster, but i guess i have a soft spot

for adaware, but the wheels certainly look like they is falling off.

i read just now that staff have been fired and others are leaving in droves,

sounds like the death knell. (at least for se users.)

i read what alias said, and i do hold his/her comment in esteem, but i have

also read in lots of other places that contradict.

anyhow, i am now basically without adaware as i've unistalled my original

and installed and '.exe' i kept, and like i said, it tells me i'm nearly

800days

out of the loop............ but still adaware wont let me update.

(even the forums are boo-hoo-ing adaware,, they are getting a bad

reputation really quick,, but not so much for the update problems,

but for the fact that not one adaware representitive has stepped up and

explained whats going on.)

Re: heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

 

I wonder why you are having so much trouble with AdAware SE? Prompted by

your post I've just run AdAware, checked for updates and it told me new

signatures were available dated 23 July and as when I last posted they

came down and installed without problem.

 

What version of AdAware Personal SE are you using? Mine is Build 1.06r1.

Sorry you're having problems Jeanette but it's working OK here as well on

my husbands XP machine and my daughters WinME one. I updated them on

Monday morning before doing the weekly maintenance, I use the new version

on my machine.

Re: heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

 

Just another +1 for someone using the 2007 version......I have not had any

problem with it, however, I am running XP.

Have you checked any firewall you may have that could be blocking the update

process?? Usually, the 5% hang is due to problems at their end. Wish I

could help more, but, the firewall thing is all I could think of.

Re: heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

 

One other thing I just noticed..........not sure how you have been

attempting to update (probably through the app itself), but, check out this

page of the Lavasoft site:

http://www.lavasoft.com/support/securitycenter/blog/

In the upper right corner is a green button, one side is to update 2007 and

the other side is for the SE version. Just thought it might be worth a try.

Re: heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

 

Brief flying visit.

 

Perhaps someone could tell Jeanette that I had exactly the same issue - her

in Oz, me in the UK - but it eventually started working again. It is *not* a

problem with her installation!

 

The latest on my experience is that I got the 5% problem return - *but only

within a virtual machine!* iow I had Ad-aware running and a VM runniong with

Ad-aware also running in that. I ran the updater in both and the one on the

Host updated okay while the one on the Guest failed at 5%. A little later,

however, it resumed working in the VM installation too. An installation

identical to the one on the Host apart from actual harware vs. emulated

hardware (but in actual fact going through the same hardware - and after all

it did work eventually anyway *without my having to change anything!*).

 

I only mention this because people are steering her wrong - still! (not you,

H). Mine fixed itself without me changing anything! And it existed and has

been cured in multiple installations. Seems to me almost certainly an LS

server issue or one that Tiscali.co.uk shared along with Jeanettes Aussie

isp. And bare in mind in all the years the build has been out, this has

never happened to me before. So mine and hers going simultaneously sounds

like an external influence.

 

Right. See ya! Back to boiling water. Apart from the crocks etc *I need a

wash!*

Shane,

 

Sorry to read that you're one of those affected by the too much water but

not a drop to drink problem. I hope it gets cleared up soon and your

supply restored.

I take it that taking a swim instead is out? <vbg>

 

I really really will try and e-mail you tomorrow but for now it's back to

Re: heather, alias, mike, sidj,,, adaware problem

 

You are right Shane,,

I got the bugger to work just now;; but this leads to another

question.... "did I get ALL adaware definitions or just the ones from

the update in question???"

the download took about the same amount of time for any normal

update, but in my case, i needed it to go back 800days and fetch

everyth def' available.

Thank you to all btw, for your input and assist.

(nice bunch o' ppl here.)

The AdAware status page should tell you which definitions file is loaded.

In my case it is currently SE1R182 23.07.2007

Ha! Yes, well at least we're not actually flooded here. We just have no

water - except what's in the bowsers. And while I am getting very weary of

this, the biggest problem is still that I could murder someone for driving

out here to pinch multiple gallons of what really is 'our' water. You know,

there are bowsers all over the place - and yesterday I went to town and saw

them all being refilled in this part of town, so obviously elsewhere. It's a

continual process. Out here there are people without cars, and people who

can hardly walk. But car drivers today think everyone has one (and if they

don't, they're weirdos who get what they deserve) so they can drive out into

the sticks for water. Well, we can't drive into town when they've taken

ours.

 

And what with people vandalising bowsers, stealing flood barriers, and

profiteers in general (solid Republicans all), it could so easily become

jungle law here. And looking at the true face of humankind makes me weary.

 

Along with having to do the washing up then put the dirty water in the

cistern after and go get more water. And wash with a Wet Wipe. Sorry to be

so negative. Yesterday I bought a 2G USB Drive to use as ReadyBoost, but

that seems to be one component 2K8 does not have of Vista's. Lol! Well at

least pizza doesn't require much washing up.

In haste, as ever

 

Not all usb thumb drives will work with ReadyBoost but not having a 2K8

system to play with at present you could well be correct and that 2K8

doesn't support ReadyBoost.

 

As for you local petty thieves and vandals get you shotgun out and go

hunting. No-one would ever blame you if you were to miss that swimming

rabbit and hit a water thief instead. :-) This from someone who loathes

guns of any sort and would like to see a proper crack down on their use

especially amongst the ever younger kids in London.

 

Pizza? Haven't had one for what seems like years but I did succumb and

have a rather nice Chinese last night. No car or even a bike nowadays but

at least in London I have a fair few places that deliver to choose from.

Yes, it has the SuperFetch service ReadyBoost apparently relies on (though I

realise the one doesn't imply the other), but I haven't managed to start

that yet - just get a message that this computer isn't configured for it. I

haven't yet found out in what way? Ironically I do have an actual Vista

trial, but it's the .vhd version (the only type out at the mo), so it won't

see a USB drive! I imagine, while 2K8 has Aero and Flip 3D and so on, it is

never going to be considered to need ReadyBoost under any circumstances - I

mean, I don't suppose they're aiming at selling it to businesses that can't

afford more than 512MB of RAM! I doubt if such a business has more than one

computer anyway and probably isn't in the market for a Server.

 

Well, I've been trying to find an excuse to buy the USB Drive for a month

now. So cheers Microsoft! <vbg>

ROFL!

Yes. And you're not far from one of the worst parts in that respect, are

you? I don't suppose any part of London is immune to that threat. If you

think about it, every direction you look points to somewhere a bit dodgy.

Where I was is possibly the least troubled by kiddie gangs - but probably

because it's full of the grown-up version.

Yes, back NW7 way there certainly was a lot of choice! Although I do think

it is also a cause of much that is wrong these days - by driving prices down

to where quality and/or service is unsustainable - competition does seem to

have had the effect of making every restaurant/take away have to deliver!

The biggest problem, I thought, was that even the really good places didn't

stay in business very long. There was this great one in Edgware where, much

I suspect to their consternation my dad and I used to drive there and sit at

a table while they cooked our take-away and be almost too full of prawn

crackers to eat the meal when eventually it arrived! We began to let them

deliver it after they suggested it so pointedly that I got the idea they

thought we were driving trade away! It wasn't a problem - the food was still

great - but then they turned into someone else, and the new lot didn't do it

so well. But almost every street around there had another Chinese, and even

the grubbier looking ones did food to die for. Hopefully not of botulism.

 

And much greater choice these days, don't you think Mike? I mean with

ingredients - like garlic, spring onions, squid, that sort of thing. Though

probably what you could get in SF in the 1920's, it just took longer to

convince the British to stop wanting egg and chips or pie and mash, and veg

but only if boiled to vapour.

 

I really, really fancy Chinese now that you've mentioned it! There was a

marvellous take away in Cirencester; but here there was one that *was*

great, but started using - apparently - chopped and shaped prawns. So we

took our custom to the other local Chinese take away, and that was fine too,

then went downhill, seemingly having changed management. No doubt new

management thinking there's more profit to be had, started buying cheapo

oil, or using it for twice as long. And they use GM stuff - though when most

use too much MSG anyway, it probably doesn't matter taste-wise.

 

What they had in Cirencester, and now have here too are "Thai Emerald"

restaurants, bloody wonderful! Oh the monkfish in chilli sauce! Mmmm! I

think the one in Ciren was better, but the one here is still fab, especially

washed down with Tiger beer. They seem to be based in this part of the

country, having one at Stratford and either Worcester or Warwick. One at

Pershore, iirc - where I originally did my back in on Easter Sunday 1980,

when it was so hot that I got sunburnt for the first time (I tan and it

takes a lot to make me burn! People cite the weather this Easter as evidence

of meteorological shift, but it was a scorcher 27 years ago!).

 

I think they might have a Thai Emerald at Evesham too...

 

As a teenager, I used to work across the Midlands, and stayed at Evesham

many times. It is really hard to imagine it flooded - though not when you

think of how wide the river is straight through the middle of town. Looks

very much like Tewkesbury in fact. And still does, I suppose.

 

Today was Laundry Day! No washboard though, so the music was a wash-out

(what a dreadful gag, eh?).

 

Talk to you later Mike.

Hmm. Firstly, is this AdAware 2007 or SE?

 

Secondly, the problem may not be in the code base that un/reintalling

will renew, but in associated "Application Data" type locations that

hold updates and indexes to these. It may be worthwhile trying to

reversibly clear these, and then retry the update. That may also

explain why YMMV between VM and native app installs, if these are

using different AppData sets.

 

Thirdly, if the OS is Vista, you may need to...

- install AdAware from admin rights

- first-run AdAware from admin rights

- run AdAware from admin rights

....else it's possible that folder redirection will mess things up.

 

I had no need for any ofd the above drama with AdAware SE on Vista32,

but I haven't yet tested AdAware 2007.
