Guest Davej Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Is it true that Adaware is no longer supporting Win98se? What security programs are people now using on their Win98se boxes? Thanks.

Though then new version Adaware 2007 may not work with win98 the old version AdawareSE can still be updated but it will have to be done manually. they carry the new definitions on their website and they just need to be unzipped into your Adaware folder

Ok, I will try unzipping the AdAware updates manually. I did install SpywareBlaster 4.0 but then I removed it because it seemed useless. I use the mvps.org hosts file.

I downloaded and unzipped core.aawdef but AdAware did not see it. I then renamed it defs.ref and AdAware rejected it.

Davej: * Close Ad-Aware SE. * Download the latest Definition File in ZIP format here: http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip and save the file to a temporary location. * Unzip the contents of the file either with a ZIP utility or with the built-in support in Windows to the Ad-Aware SE installation directory, which usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE\". * Open Ad-Aware SE. * Confirm that the latest Definition File is installed by checking the "Initialization Status" in the main program window.

There was a recent discussion here on the procedure, likely someone will provide that information again. SpyWare Blaster provides some additional protections, takes no memory as the modifications are made to the registry. So using it and a good HOSTS file is like layered protection AND some additional protections [the updates provide newly found problem sites], which may not be included in a downloaded {and likely not updated, as you would have to do so} HOSTS. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________

I downloaded and unzipped core.aawdef but AdAware | did not see it. I then renamed it defs.ref and AdAware rejected it. Ad-Aware manual updating : http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip Unzip the contents of the file to the Ad-Aware SE installation directory, which usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE". If still having problems updating, go to C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE and delete the files "defs.ref" and "defs.ref.old" Note the def file needs to be inserted into the main Adaware folder, not any of the sub-folders. Windows will ask if you want to replace the "defs.ref" file.

Dave, Try: http://www.superantispyware.com/ I have gone from Adaware to SAS, the free version, and it works just fine. Give it a test run, at least.
