Whats the deal with Ad Aware SE?

I just downloaded what I thought was the newest version now im getting this!!!! Can someone explain to me why there is a newer build in such a short time? Thanks in advance.

Version 1.04 was out for a few weeks now and I guess Lavasoft has a major update.

For the latest and greatest free version of Ad-aware SE I always use Major Geeks for downloads. They always seem to be on top.

 

Dobhar,

Thanks for the info.. so I guess I need to re d load this newer version huh? Can I install over the top or would it be better to uninstall and reinstall?

I usually uninstall from "Add/Remove Programs" then install new version myself but Ad-aware does ask you if you want to uninstall the old version suring the install of new verion...you will get a prompt.

When I upgraded from 1.04 to 1.05 I used this method and it worked flawlessly for me.

 

Here is Lavasoft's introduction to the new SE1.05

Note the last post by Mayhem that there is a way to upgrade without changing your AA settings. This is only for AA SE Personal (Free)
dobhar--Thanks for your comments. Maybe I will go ahead with installing 1.05. After the snafu with SE1.04 I have been waiting for a guinea pig to go first.

 

Well, I did the 'pig' duties and 1.05 slid in nicely (I opted for a fresh install rather than the piece that would save current settings) and it is humming along nicely even as we speak - sniffing out possible bad things to kill.

 

Hello

I opted for a fresh install as well newt and all is working nicely..went through and set it up rather quickly and got updates all is well here!!!

I took the El-Cheapo route

A piece of cake. It just replaced my existing adaware.exe file with the new (v1.05) one. And sure enough when I opened AA it said SE 1.05 was installed.

And have I told you about the new plug in, Tweak SE?

Jim...Glad to be a "pig "...

Well, 2 days with out a hitch...I think I can honestly say 1.05 (IMHO) is a go.

EDIT: I just looked at my last post (#4) above...typos...typos...man I need spell check...

 

dobhar--Oinks a lot.
Have you tried the TweakSE?

 

Jim...

Yep...Ran it and made some tweaks...seems OK.

 

Thanx, Pete. Very nice tool. Hopefully now the typos will disappear.

 

Another option is Here.

 

Too kewl, Newt. Your right though...I could not believe that I could actually read what you typed.
