Default Ad-Aware Updates


I just downloaded the current free version of Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. I'm
getting an error message in updating the definitions. Anyone else having
this problem?

The signature update or the program beta? No problem with the current
signatures, I left the beta alone.

The signature update - it says "error retrieving update"
and then stops.

From what I see on Lavasoft's website the update is downloaded from the
home page.

That was happening a few months ago, turned out to be a Lavasoft server
problem I believe. Wait a little while and try again. As I said, I didn't
have a problem downloading the signatures.

I belive you can download an update from there and install it but I don't
remember the procedure.
