maceman 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Well, it froze on me to for version 105. I did notice last night when I was updating that the antivirus update 3 had a checksum error. This error will only apply to people running plus or pro, to check you will have to look at your update log. I'm busy right now, later today, I will uninstall and reinstall. I might try deleting the antivirus files and updating, can't remember if that works. I'll let ya'll know. 22.07.2008 02:49:26: Initialized 22.07.2008 02:49:26: Server type: Professional 22.07.2008 02:49:27: Server type: Professional (compressed) https://download.lavasoft.com/public/closedlzm : Compressed file not found, retrying with uncompressed version 22.07.2008 02:49:31: Process is running as administrator 22.07.2008 02:49:31: Updating component(s) selected by GUI 22.07.2008 02:49:31: Downloading https://download.lavasoft.com/public/aaw2008/antivir2vdf : (compressed) verification successful, 1690624 bytes received 22.07.2008 02:49:43: Downloading https://download.lavasoft.com/public/aaw2008/antivir3vdf : (compressed) failure, checksum mismatch 22.07.2008 02:49:43: Failed updating dependency 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GSi-R 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Glad you found the cause in your freeze. Well, a quick update on my progress, uninstalled Ad-Aware2008 once again, deleted all Lavasoft folders, ran cCleaner, rebooted, installed aww2008 again with all security switch off, after installation, rebooted again, then when back on, updated definitions to 105, ran a full scan, and it completed in 1 hour 5 minutes. Its confusing the hell out of me this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its confusing the hell out of me this one. Dunno if it helps or is relevant - but yesterday I had this happen to me: Basically, to get the icon in the taskbar to appear during an auto-scan, I turned-off "Update Definitions Files before scanning". I now use a scheduled Defs Files update 15 minutes before a scheduled Full Scan. So settings changed, but still no icon appeared during an AutoScan - weird... I reset all settings using the Reset Settings option button. I went to change some settings from the default to my choices, and a few options wouldn't let me change them...namely my default home and search pages insisted on remaining as MSN rather than Google UK. And "Use Heuristics on extended scan" simply couldn't be enabled. Several reboots of AdAware didn't cure either of these stubborn gremlins...but a full PC Reboot did...LOL. After the XP Reboot, Google UK was there already in both Settings -> Browsers windows. And "Use Heuristics on extended scan" was enabled / Green Ticked - all I had to do then was change the level of the heuristics scan. In other words - have you tried a PC reboot after receiving and installing a Definitions / AV update and before you attempt a scan...? It'll be a PITA if that's what you got to do - but less of a PITA than constant uninstall / CClean etc / reinstall. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GSI-R I've been following your progress and hoping you finally have rectified the problem. Being that so many of us are having the Full Scan problem I was wondering if it is system type related. My system is running WinXP Pro SP2. I have NIS2008 installed and also use Spybot. My processor type is an AMD Athlon. My system hardware has not changed since full scans were working using AAW 2007. The issue started in late May 2008 for me. AAW 2008 has never successfully run a full scan. Smart scans have always worked. What type of system do you have and have you changed anything else recently - removed any apps or hardware - that may also explain why AAW 2008 now works for you. Could be the problem is Norton related but it did work with AAW 2007 till late May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Software removed, was mainly video compression tools, and convertors, which i have replaced with one single piece of software called Any Video Converter. I use thunderBird client for my emails Firefox (latest version) for internet. Connectivity, WLAN via my wireless home router.

Odd one today however, when I launched Ad-Aware, the window popped up as usual, but looked like this for a moment, before settling back down to how its supposed to look.

[email protected] 4 Report post Posted August 20, 2008 Hi GSi-R, glad all is going well, I have read this topic eventhough not yet posted. This is a common glitch which occurs when the program loads as it updates, nothing to worry about It should fix itself or when you click on something it should also return to normal.
