Thumbs down ADAWARE SE update problem
I am still using Windows ME. I now have to download latest Defs. manually and zip into c:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE\. I tried to drop the def.ref zip file into that program but it cannot find it. Could someone tell me how it's done, maybe its a simple solution !
thanks
Terryl

Ad-Aware SE is now unsupported. You will need to get "Adaware 2007 free"

Thanks guys. Adaware 2007 does not work on Windows ME, only from 2000/XP & upwards.
Am using superantispyware and it looks good.

Superantispyware is a good choice, but always remember its a combination of these programs and your own vigilance that does the trick.
