Hi All,
I'm a bit under the weather and haven't had a chance to try it, but this
looks like good news. David said it was okay to post it.

Here's a message I received from Lavasoft. Unfortunately, since the program
was not accessible, I uninstalled it when I downloaded PC Pitstop. But,
this information may help some of you.

Dear Cynthia Handel,
Please accept our sincere apologies for delays on developing our new product
so that it is compatible with your needs. As you know, we are addressing the
issue this year.
In the meantime, you are welcome to continue to use Ad-Aware SE Personal for
as long as we are able to provide updates to Ad-Aware SE's threat database.
Lavasoft plans to continue to provide updates to the Ad-Aware SE threat
database well into this year.
In order to continue to keep Ad-Aware SE Personal updated, you will need to
perform manual updates when new Definitions Files are released. Here are the
instructions for performing a manual update for Ad-Aware SE.
- Close Ad-Aware SE.
- Download the latest Definitions File in ZIP format here
http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.zip and save the file to a
temporary location.
- Unzip the contents of the file either with a ZIP utility or with the
built-in support in Windows to the Ad-Aware SE installation directory, which
usually is "C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE\".
- Open Ad-Aware SE.
- Confirm that the latest Definitions File is installed by checking the
"Initialization Status" in the main program window.
Best regards,
Erin Earley

Hello,
I received the message, below, some time ago. Now, it's nearing the time
where it will become imperative to upgrade to Ad Aware 2007.
Has anything been done to make the program accessible for those of us who
use screen readers? I would really like to stay with Ad Aware, if at all
possible, since it's a very good program and the best I've found.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Cindy Handel

Dear Cynthia Handel,
Thank you for your e-mail.
We appreciate your inquiry and understand the importance of your request, as
we also believe as part of our founding ethics that all individuals have the
right to protect their private information on their computers.
Our developers are aware of this problem with screen reader compatibility;
they have added this item to their development points in order to discuss
and identify when they are able to implement an update so that Ad-Aware 2007
is accessible for use with screen readers.
As of now, we do not have a definite date as to when the updated software
version will be released, but we will make an announcement on our company
blog or Support Forums when progress has been made.
Please know that this is important to us, and we are working hard to make
Ad-Aware 2007 accessible to all.
Warm regards,
Erin Earley

I've used Ad Aware for a number of years and like it very much.
However, as a blind computer user, I've heard, from other Ad Aware
customers, that the 2007 version is not compatible with screen reading
software. Apparently, it's highly graphical and cannot be used by a blind
computer user.
Since I like your products, I'd very much appreciate it if you would look
into what you can do to make Ad Aware blind user friendly, once again.
Thank you.
Cynthia Handel
