Yup, from what I've just read its cos folks use these programs and blindly erase files without double checking. I understand that us non tekkies have to trust to a degree - but it doesn't take long to double check with Google or write to the forums before removing drivers from critical folders. These folks seem to have deleted their zlib.dll file from their AOL folder on advice from AASE also someone took out their moz.dll file - guess what browser didn't work then ?

I don't know if there are any other misleading readings - but I did note that Ad-aware only ever calls up IE which supposes a lack of sympathy with other browsers. I should think those in the know lurch permanently between pulling their hair out in frustration and laughing hysterically as the rest of us learn from our mistakes (hopefully).

The default skin that comes with the program, is a password protected zip Guess they don't want skinrelated bug reports at this stage.

You're right Journeyman, that has been taken care of, in addition to a couple of other minor issues. It didn't find anything on my PC, but then again, I use Spybot Search & Destroy and Winpatrol in addition to access internet via a LAN behind a firewall...

Ad-Aware SE is not calling Internet explorer. This effect is due to the fact that firefox/mozilla doesnt make the required changes to the registry. You need to set html to "Open with" to your preferred browser and it will work as expected.

Help me out - I'm not sure if what you're saying is so obvious i've already done it and don't know it (a possible unfamiliarity with phrasing) - or if this is a setting I just haven't had a need to use yet, which is quite possible - so where exactly would I look to make this change assuming we're not just talking about making Firefox my default?

I wasn't aware of that particular option - but I've checked and it has already set itself to Firefox. As always Koasati, clear and concise - many thanks.

Edited cos I missed that alpha-prime had already provided info about additional update.
