Well, this is the last straw! I had adaware se working fine on 3 of my PC's and suddenly in the past few weeks it won't up-date....gets to 5%. I've checked all over the net and haven't found a solution so off to the trash bucket it goes. At least the trusty old spybot still works great along with a few of the others I use. Adaware SE is useless now.
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

I'm not sure if I posted there, BUT, I remember reading some of their so-called cures and nothing worked. I disabled my AV and Firewall and still no luck....weird that it's on 3 of my PC's.

Bugmenot2, that was quite a useless reply...maybe look in your own backyard. You sound like a remake of another sarcastic poster and I won't mention any names.
I already tried that Tim, thanks for the reply, and I have installed Adaware on many other clients PC's. Already 10 others have the same problem so we just uninstalled the Adaware SE
