LavaSoft - AdAware

Post by fredra »

I can't seem to get a connection to http://www.lavasoftusa.com to check and d/l any new reference files.
Has anyone been able to connect?

Try Here

That was the original site. I'm not sure if it is kept updated, as I've been using the USA site too.

I couldn't connect to your link either btw.

You're welcome bud. :)

Keeping ahead of all the spyware, webbugs, tracking cookies etc etc etc is a big pain in the butt. There ought to be laws against all these invasive programs. I've got a HOSTS file over 750 KB in size, and constanlty growing. They just keep coming out of the woodwork. By the looks of the way things are going, I'll need a separate drive just for my HOSTS file one day.

Ok, I'm done :)

The servers went down. I don't know how soon they'll have them back up and running, it's been awhile now.

Thanks Norm!

Hey Storm

Thanks for the information.

I went and checked...now they have a NEW REF UPDATE 1.2 (I was using 1.1 ... silly me), so I updated that also.

Thanks again Storm. :D

Don't know if I really know what I'm talking about, but my computer was working really fine until AdAware found 29 new components (Cydoor, Alexa and WebHancer) which prevented connections to my ISP after I used AdAware to remove them. I checked my Add/Remove program but they were not listed there, or I would have removed them that way first.
Anyone else have problems with AdAware?
thanks in advance for any responses!
