Hi Rocky.....apparently that was the last one and we are expected to go
the the bloated new version 2007. I am not about to and will just use
Spybot because it also checks my Firefox cache, etc. AdAware did not.

Just checked the sizes.....the old AA1.06 is 2.8 meg. The new and
improved version 2007 is twenty times that at 20.71. Guess I know which
one I will use. (G)

Cheers....Heather

his occupations, and the
confidence which he has in the Jesuits; and the Jesuits are very capable of
imposing upon him by means of calumny.

883. The wretches who have obliged me to speak of the basis of religion.

884. Sinners purified without penitence; the righteous justified without
love; all Christians without the grace of Jesus Christ; God without power
over the will of men; a predestination without mystery; a redemption without
certitude!

885. Any one is made a priest, who wants to be so, as under Jeroboam.

It is a horrible thing that they propound to us the discipline of the Church
of to-day as so good that it is made a crime to desire to change it.
Formerly it was infallibly good, and it was thought that it could be changed
without sin; and now, such as it is, we cannot wish it changed! It has
indeed been permitted to change the custom of not making priests without
such great circumspection that there were hardly any who were worthy; and it
is not allowed to complain of the custom which makes so many who are
unworthy!

886. Heretics.--Ezekiel. All the heathen, and also the Prophet, spoke evil
of Israel. But the Israelites were so far from having the right to say to
him, "You speak like the heathen," that he is most forcible upon this, that
the heathen say the same as he.

887. The Jansenists are like the heretics in the reformation of morality;
but you are like them in evil.

888. You are ignorant of the prophecies, if you do not know that all this
must happen; princes, prophets, Pope, and even the priests. And yet the
Church is to abide. By the grace of God we have not come to that. Woe to
these priests! But we hope that God will bestow His mercy upon us that we
shall not be of them.

ones.

Is there by any chance a connection between those 'religious flyers' and
Lavasoft?
Apparently they have abandoned support for the free version of their
software and are trying to get you to "Buy now" the latest edition(s).
They will not even make their support available, unless you are a registered
customer with a purchased product.
As much as I like Ad-Aware SE Personal, I will have to abandon it's use in
favor of Spybot and Spywareblaster, as was mentioned before.

Since AdAware SE is unsupported with no more updates being released
abandoning it would be a good idea.

Because it happened in this context only and they are behaving strangely by
quietly dropping the "free stuff", while promoting their paid version(s).

Do you really think that a company like Lavasoft, which has dedicated
its efforts in helping people getting rid of unwanted pests, would
actually put its reputation on the line by pulling a stupid stunt like
that? It would practically ruin them if they did this and word of it
got out. What you say makes no sense at all, Harry.

As for them dropping free stuff, they dropped SE, which is now quite a
few years old, they have a new free version, just go to their web site
and do some searching and reading and you will find it.

I only left open the possibility, if not, that's fine with me and all the
better.

I did go to their website, but didn't find what you are saying, hence my
thinking.
Will try again and then hopefully find it.

Here's the Tech Specs link for Ad-Aware 2007 Free. The OS requirements
do not include Windows ME as a supported OS.

http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php?t=techspecs

The download link redirects you to download.com. There are other
mirrors available if you prefer.

I may have been a little too hasty, one free version isn't really a free
version and the other requires Win2000 or better, it will not install on my
pc.
That's too bad, I'll just forget about it.
Thanks anyway for trying.

Please explain "baited". Do you think that someone should be allowed to
make hundreds of of completely off topic posts using hundreds of spoofed
identities and that no one should say a word or complain about it. You
seem to be giving much efforts to try to distance religious motives
behind the posts, the posts were made by religious crackpots!

You seem to be defending these posts, maybe you made them. You appear
to be offended at the thought that religious right wing nuts could be
involved with this and you take all steps to distance the possibility
that these nuts could be making the posts.

And we all know that you are a religious wing nut. By your own
admission you have previoulsy alreadly self labeled yourself as a:

In the process of all the Ad-Aware manipulation I've lost my "right-click"

So you answer vile with vile? There is nothing so vile as de-
humanizing your foe. Makes it a lot easier to pull the trigger when
you have "it" in your sights. Beware, when you fight demons, that you
don't become like the demon you fight.

Do you not see top right of the page

OK, unzipped it into the Lavasoft folder and laughed when I started to
run it and it said it was something like 600,000 days old!! I checked
it and the defs were Jan. 14, 2008, so ran it. Got the usual 3 tracking
cookies.

I do like Spybot better (other than the eons it takes to run).....but it
checks Firefox as well.

Thanks Mike, but Lavasoft screwed up once again. This time I did go to
the absolute right and the download date was the same.....Jan. 14/08.
However, I downloaded and opened it anyway and got the same damn 730845
days out of date. Tried updating via the program, and got the same.

You would think if they say they *fixed it*......they would put the
*fixed version* as their download defs. But nah.....that would be too
simple.

All those who think they want to dump the old one and switch us all over
to the overly bloated AdAware 2007......RAISE YOUR HANDS!!

That's funny, I followed Mike's link and was successful in getting the
latest update.

No balls on my mouse to play with, I prefer something better anyway.
Noone is "forcing" anyone to use Ad-Aware SE and you are the master
(mistress) of your domain.
Maybe the program you mentioned is worthy to replace Ad-Aware period.
Will have to give it a looking over.

Hello:

Rocky, what other program have you switched to that still supports Win ME?

SpyBot or another program?

Thanks,
O.J.

The 'SUPERAntiSpyware', recommended by Heather, is a very effective utility,
which puts little demand on your pc. I 'may' use it to replace Ad-Aware SE
Personal.
You can download it here, or find another location of your choice:

I read on one of the forums that this program, while very effective, is
difficult to uninstall. Since no uninstall comes with the utility, I
assume that Add/Remove Programs leaves files behind. I was going to try
it out until I read that caveat.

They tell you specifically, that with the Add/Remove Program in Control
Panel the program will be 'completely removed'. Therefore it shouldn't leave
any files behind, but to be sure, you could check yourself and delete them,
if it were the case.

Why would you use "uninstall" instead of the better method of
Add/Remove?? Followed by removal, if needed, of anything left on your
HD and/or registry??

I never remove programs the way you suggest. Other than a rather
complicated uninstall and total removal of Zone Alarm by Horton.

Just wondered. Oh....and remembered Nick's name. Nick Skrepreto. I
think I used his program way back when, but haven't done so for about a
year or more.
