Hello all,

The Development Team has found the problem setting that is causing Ad-Aware to crash on updating!

A permanent fix will be forthcoming but probably not until next week due to the Easter Holiday

For now this workaround works!

Open Ad-Aware 2007
Go to *Webupdate*

Click on *Settings*

Disable: Backup Definition File (make it a "red X" as shown)

Remember to *Save* your settings.

This should resolve the problem with updates crashing Ad-Aware.

There will be a software update soon to resolve the problem and you can then resume to change this setting back to green after the fix is released.

Thank you so much for all your reports and we apologize for the inconvenience this has been causing. Thank you also for your patience in this matter.
