Ad-Aware AE Definitions File 0149.0005 - April 7th, 2009

Ad-Aware protects you from spyware that secretly takes control of your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity and even identity theft through stolen private information. The publisher gives you the tools to detect hazardous content on your computer, clearly identify their threat level, and then give you the ability to remove unwanted content, so that your private information remains right where it should - under your control.

In some circumstances, such as if your proxy settings are not configured properly, you may not be able to update the Detection Database by using Web Update.

You can manually update the Detection Database with the latest Definitions File by following the steps below:

• Close Ad-Aware.
• Download the latest Definitions File in a ZIP file.
• Save the file to a temporary location.
• When complete, unzip the contents of the file to the installation directory of Ad-Aware, which is usually C:/Program Files/Lavasoft/Ad-Aware.
• Open Ad-Aware. You can confirm the latest Definitions File is installed by looking at Update Status on Ad-Awares main status screen.
