Bill, You can still get hold of updates for Ad-Aware SE, it's just the automated procedure that no longer works. Try this link: http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip to get a zip file which contains one file that you put into C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware. You should then find you can run Ad-Aware and it will pick up the new definitions.
