Just copy the new Reflist file in to the Lavasoft\Adaware 6 program folder, replacing the existing file, and then launch the program.

Navigate to your Ad-Aware install directory. Rename the existing reflist.ref to reflist.old. Unzip the reflist.zip file you downloaded and put the file reflist.ref in your install directory and off you go

I know there is an update for adaware 6 build 181, but when I click on update within the program it tells me I have the latest refrence files.. ( 10-4-2004 ) lavasofts site lists 10-10-2004 as the newest refrence file.. I would like to know how do I do a manual update? I downloaded the file but can't seem to find out where to install it to... ( I'm putting off going to adaware se for now untill I'm thru deleting all the unused programs that are installed ) Thanks for the help... Rick
