To update my earlier entry on Ad-Aware, Lavasoft is ending its support for Ad-Aware 6 this week and urging users to migrate to Ad-Aware SE.
Thankfully, Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition remains free and I installed it earlier after uninstalling Ad-Aware 6. The installation went without a hitch although I did have some difficulty updating the definitions list on my first attempt — the web update tool froze after 5 per cent — but I managed to get the latest definitions (SE1R16 28.10.2004, fact fans) upon retrying.
