Ad-Aware

Hello.
What's going on with Ad-Aware: 3 updates in 4 days after a no-update period
of 18 days!
Just a curiosity, nothing else, though.

shows they are busy doing work for us mere mortals ;-)

Maybe they were on a winter vacation.

Maybe LavaSoft thought that with Microsoft's making the beta version of the
Panda-developed anti-spyware available, there wouldn't be too many people
left who'd want to use Ad-Aware.

Then LavaSoft realized they still have a great product that people want to
continue to use, even if they are using the MS anti-spyware program.

New updates were posted to correct False Positive declarations including one that was
detecting the DLL of SpyBot S&D as being a component of 180Solutions malware.

Aha! And here I thought the reference file on my computer had somehow gotten
corrupted. Thanks for the info.

As I recall, the last time Lavasoft stopped issuing updated reference files
they were working on a new version of Ad-Aware. Is that what's going on
here?

I don't know if they are working on a successor to Ad-aware SE v1.05.

You would have to ask on the Lavasoft product support board.
