I have the AdAware Anniversary Edition (free version). I have been using AdAware for years now and never had any problems. I recently downloaded the Anniversary Edition and it seems to work okay. I haven't been able to update the DAT files since I downloaded this new version. The main screen comes up and I try to click the update button, but it says there is a connection problem and that I should check my settings. It appears that I need a PROXY, Username, and password. I don't even know what a proxy is or how to go about this setup. I use windows XP and have no problems accessing the internet, but the software seems to think there is a problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
