This has been delayed to a provisional date of 15th August.

Taken this from the latest Newsletter.

Fortunately, Ad-Aware SE is just shy of being authorized for release and is prepared to meet the world of spyware head-on. Our internal testing is practically finished, but to make sure things are working properly, even though it has curved our release plans a bit to a later date than we expected, we’ve hired a Quality Assurance company to review Ad-Aware SE and provide additional testing, which is currently taking place, to make sure Ad-Aware SE is ready to take on the important task of protecting your systems. As of right now, we’re looking at August 15, 2004 as our release date, but this of course is subject to change.

It looks like it is going to be a great release, in the battle aganist dross :)
 
A complete Re-bore in some areas Perris, keeping it close to their chest.

One week to go for the goodies on the 15th Aug :)

looks like some nice updates, might have to install AA again (spybot currently resides)
 
i just got and ran it and found a bunch of spyware. and i thought i was clean using spybot.
 
A daily chore I am afraid, I use Ad Aware, Spybot, Pest Patrol and there is always one in one of them, most of the time :eek:
 
me too ep

hey poly, good to see you as always

I never ever get any spyware running any of these anti spy programs...the excellant sandbox that comes with adaware pro seems to do a fine job preventing anything from getting on my box.

do you use adwatch?
 
just did a clean install with SE and I have to say that it found some spycrap
that SPybot missed nice new interface and a outstanding revamp of the software thumbs up Well done Lavasoft :) :)
 
Still waiting...hopefully they recognised that I changed my details.

@xp-erience.org was the one I used to reg :D
 
post a changelog of differences between pro and free versions if you could lads :D

will see if its worth upgrading...
 
Looks like a nice list of updates. Probably worth updating once it comes out. BTW, I use both Spybot and Ad Aware...it seems there can be things that one finds which the other misses...
 
true, hopefully adaware will be able to get everything now

Waiting for the details of my pro version...

I guess we wait at the back as usual, they reckon Pro users should receive our instructions by Thursday at the latest.
:(

Perris,

As always nice to see you around, I use it but not all thetime, sometimes it can be a pain, mind you that could be me :D
 
I was one of the first to get the retail version :D
Threw up a few screenshots... was what I like to call a "site killer" :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
