    I have had AdAware (the free version) for ayears with no problems. I've been trying to update (like it always prompts at the start). It gets to 5% complete and then tells me "error retrieving update". I tried reinstalling it. the only thing that did was extend the # of days since I updated. What else can I do?
    Thanks,
    Irene

    I had the same problem.. thought it was just me. I think it's not supporting that version anymore. You may want to try downloading the newer version.

    I went to cnet and downloaded the newer version.
    Don't have any problems with that. I think the old version just isn't supported.
