Ad-Aware will not update
Sorry, I said adware in my recent post, not Ad-Aware. I have been trying to update Ad-Aware for several days or a week and in fact it may be even longer than that. When I click on either Update or Web Update, the window searching for updates appears briefly, then disappears without completing the search.

They have had for months slow or server troubles. If you just wait and wait the update should go tru but it takes time.
Or just get the New Definition file from there web site.
