Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

It seems as if 1.06 was just released today http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html I am probably going to wait a bit before I update. Usually whenever they release new builds there are several more following behind them within a short period of time.

 

I wonder if it will be a free upgrade for SE Plus users like me who currently have version 1.05.

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

Yes, just go to the link contained in the e-mail when you purchased AdAware SE and use the username and password contained also in that e-mail to logon and download the new version.

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

For a complete list of updates and changes, it is avalable via a download from THIS PAGE in pdf format.

 

After removing previous version....re-booting....checking drive and registry for left overs....the install went flawlessly.

Initial scan went well with nothing found. Installed a known favorite of the Adware\Spyware community....re-booted....and ran a scan.

WhenU least expect it....up pops a Misc. item

Removed WhenU....rebooted....re-scanned....and AAW detected 1 remaining object of the initial 197 objects.

WhenU Object Recognized!
Type : Regkey
Data :
TAC Rating : 3
Category : Misc
Comment :
Rootkey : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Object : wuse.1

 

lol Bubba, you been lurking on some special sites lately?



Sounds good cause those were a lot of posts regarding WhenU...

 

Just uninstalled version 1.05.

Rebooted

Ran Regseeker

Rebooted

Installed the new version, 1.06

Rebooted

Ran a full system scan.

It found like 58 critical registry entries!

I seem to be in this continuous loop of late (Bubba knows the deal) where things appear in my IE Trusted Zone, (but apparently are FP's). First it was MSAS, now I guess its AdAware?

I dunno very strange considering my security and the fact that I don't use IE. I will chalk it up as FP's for now however.

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

Strange... I use SpywareBlaster, IE-SpyAd, and SpyBot's immunize feature and am not getting any false positives at all with the new version of AAW 1.06r1. My scans come up clean...

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

yep, didn't say it first but my log was clean too.

 

Just curious but did it find anything Ad-Aware related? Or does the program un-install pretty clean by itself?

 

Yes sir, it did find some AdAware related stuff, go figure. Nothing critical, but I had Regseeker clean it up anyway.

With regards to my scan, I dunno what the heck is going on with my pc. Its a fresh install of Windows XP as well, but for some reason, it keeps happening to me.

I use...

Analog X Script Defender
BOClean
CCleaner
AdAware
Process Guard (Free version as I am trialing it now)
Spywareblaster
Spywareguard
Counterspy

So I am unsure why these entries keep appearing in my registry. I have to believe its some kind of FP or conflict with the software I run. If its not, then I am in total disbelief/shock.

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

Could you post some of the entries that AAW is finding?

 

Did you ever take care of the problem you had that was not False Positives ?

I also appologize to Matt_Smi for going OT in his update annoncement thread. Perhaps we should not do the troubleshooting in this thread....but open another one if you feel you need to

 

Yes I agree.

Sorry to Matt_Smi. I did not mean to hijack your thread.

Regards,

Jag

P.S. Bubba it was cleaned up, but in the end I did reformat this machine.

 

Just installed 1.06.

Did a scan using 1.06 and everything was fine.

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

Same results installed and scanned just fine.

 

Hi
tried to install it on partition D:
I got a
----------------------------
warning
A previous version of Ad-Aware has been found in folder
Crogram files\adaware se ....
would you like to uinstall bla bla bla
----------------------------
What is the relation with the version installed on another partition.

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

Just allow it to uninstall the older version and then it will install the new one.

 

Hi bigc73542
I know that. please read my msg again. I'm talking on different partitions

 

Re: Ad-Aware 1.06 released…

I see it now that the fog clears

 

Found this over at Castle Cops, posted by Corrine:

 

So can i confirm they have definitely put back Whenu on their unwanted list. As i believe i read something a couple of months back about them doing a Alura i.e taking a backhander from them and delisting it (guess the money was good, just not good enough)
