I too was having a problem with the new update. Thank you Corrine for the
info. Ad-Aware is working great now after updating again. Once again Thanks..
 
What a way to spend my morning "break". I'm glad I did though since it
helped you out.

Hi Corrine

Interestingly this is not the first time for Adaware. A few updates back (
can`t remember which one) Adaware was giving a false positive for Winfixer.
After scanning with Spybot S&D, Ewido and an extensive HJT post to Castle
Cops the conclusion was a negative. Shortly afterwards there was another
update, again with a reduced file size which when run indicated a clean
machine. Certainly the PC involved was never symptomatic of what you would
expect from Winfixer.

Hi Stu

If you check latest updates it seems that Lavasoft
has been working alot with Vundo/Smitfraud infests
and removals.

And this is a "swamp" with tons of registry entries....

Hope that some users can "avoid" to go to a HijackThis forum
and directly run Adaware and remove all junk.

Just to press "Start".

;)

Hi Plun

Yes I saw that - thanks for the `heads up` much appreciated. I`ve been
using Adaware for almost 3 years now and have a great deal of confidence in
its ability to do a good job. That is why when it seemingly found Winfixer
it really got my attention -particularly as S&D wasn`t flagging it;

No more HJT- I promise ;

Hi Stu

Well, for Smitfraud infests it directly seems to "hit the ground"...
It crashes.... (SpywareQuake).

So Lavasoft probably needs more weeks to fix definitions.
