Is Ad-Aware AE still supported

[Ibrad 0]

Hi,

I have a question, I am interested in using Ad-Aware however I already have a anti-virus that I like (Panda Cloud). Since Ad-Aware AE is the last version of Ad-Aware that does not have a built in AV scanner can I still run Ad-Aware AE and update it without it attempting to automatically upgrade to the version with AV? Will this version be supported for a while or is it already at end of life?

Anniversary Edition version 8.0.x is still supported, but it's not the last version without anti-virus - that started with the 8.3 free version. Personally, I still use the AE version since it's been relatively bug free compared to what I read hear about versions 8.1 through 8.3. The next version to reach EOL will be 2008, then AE.

Thanks!

I think I am going to install AE and run it next to my Panda Cloud - PrivateFirewall -ClearCloud setup. Could you share a download link to this version every link I can not find a download link to AE.

Go to filehippo.com and look for Lavasoft Ad-Aware version 8.0.x

The main page will have the current version. Prior versions are listed on the right side. Edited September 18, 2010 by visitor

Ah thank you very much, so I figure Ad-Aware will not automatically install a later version. Also seems like the last version without a AV is 8.2, looking around I guess it can still be called AE because it does not include AV (I will download as soon as I get it confirmed that is the latest version without AV and it will not automatically upgrade to a later version)

Technically, Anniversary Edition is version 8.0.x. Later versions without the AV (8.1 and 8.2) were called Ad-Aware 2010.

The AE installer will install 8.0.0 and automatically update. When I first installed AE, it updated to 8.0.3, and I turned off auto-update since it was working, then just updated the definitions manually. Recently, over a year later, I somehow accidentally updated and it installed the final version 8.0.9 (a version they didn't even announce here). Luckily, it still works bug-free - I was worried. I still download and import the definitions manually.

although if you check the Filehippo site carefully, there is a full Ad-Aware AE 2009 v8.0.7 installer which will install version 8.0.7 and then you can update it to version 8.0.9.

wow visitor, I didn't know Ad-aware AE 8.0.9 exists. I though the last release of Ad-aware AE was 8.0.8 before Ad-aware 8.1.0 came out. cool!
