==============================
Function:
When one know that there is a new Adaware reference list
release, one can run this script to update the list
unattendedly. Alternatively, one can use the script with the
window Task Scheduler to check for update automatically.
To use:
Unzip all files to a folder of your choice; and then run the
updater .exe file. You can also create a shortcut to this file
yourself.
What is new in this version:
- It will check your internet connection before updating. If
you are not connected, it will exit before doing any file
altering.
- It will compare the version of the def. file with the one
that was checked last time to see if update is neccessary.
(Note: the information will only be accurate if you use this
updater the last time you update. Otherwise, update will
still proceed even though you might already have an updated
Adaware definition. The existing reflist will be replaced
with the newly downloaded one)
- It will attempt to download the file one more time before it
quits, if the first download was not succeed.
- You can change the reflist download location by altering the
first line of the file "server.txt" (The download location can
be found in their update newsletter, the default location is
http://updates.ls-servers.com/reflist.zip).
Extra:
To schedule a task to run Adaware scanning automatically after
the update, you can use the command "+S +a +1" (e.g., if you
are going scan c drive, use this commandline: "C:\Program
Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Ad-aware.exe" C:\ +S +a +1") See
Adaware help file for details.
*IMPORTANT*
Before you use this script,
Make sure you find this file, the reflist.ref file, as in
here:
"C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\reflist.ref"
Alternative path is currently not supported.
Troubleshooting:
If anything went wrong and Adware reported error when loading,
you could download the reflist.zip manually from Lavasolft
homesite. Just unzip it to the Ad-aware folder will fix it.
Note:
To unzip the reflist.zip, an Infozip unzip binary (and its
license, infozipLICENSE.txt) is included with this
distribution. I did not make this binary myself. You can
find the program in http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/.
