I am running Ad Aware Free Anniversary Edition on Vista for a few months now. I used to update with no problems. Over a week ago i started getting ''connection error, check your settings''. Have checked the settings and clicked on help button and as far as i can tell all settings are correct. Checked firewall and found that all access to lavasoft ad aware is allowed. I followed the instructions on this webpage

http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/support/faqs/web-update-connection-error

and still have the same problem. When i uninstall and then install the program it automatically updates the software at the end of installation. My ad aware is now up to date but cannot update if further. Still get connection error.

Any idea what i can do now?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
