Waldwolf, before I install the new version, do I need to delete the old one or will it do this automatically?

Cheers, Kringle

No need to delete the old Ad-Aware version 1.0.5. The new version will do this automatically and confirm it has successfully done so.

It will even give you the option to keep the old one if you want (not sure why anyone would).

Is there anyway to block the bugs once it finds them? (newbie Ad Aware)

I have the 1.06V.

Flipping thing/download didn't work for me. I have this app set to launch at boot up.

However ran adaware twice and hey presto there was an update.

In the default setting, any malware found is moved to a "quarantine" folder. You also have an option to immediately delete same or re-install it again if it had previously been quarantined. (Basically same proceedures used by most antivirus software.)

Suggest you read "Help" file, following installation, for more specific details.
