How to install latest Ad-Aware
« on: February 28, 2006, 10:27:55 PM »
I read somewhere here on Landzdown that it's best to uninstall the old version of AAw and then install the newest one. Would someone, please, explain for me exactly how to do, in very easy English? (Talking daily with Scittlespc have helped alot to understand English better of cource, but she keep on teaching me USA:ish all the time!   :D  )
 
Thanks / Mimmi          :flowers:

See if either of these help:

The newest version of Ad-Aware SE will detect the older version that is installed, and ask if you want to remove it ... let it do so.

Tjenare, Mimmi.

:lol:  Yes, you need to watch that Skittles and her USA version of English.  Of course, that is what you will get from me as well.  If you need help in Swedish, let us know and we can get Die Hard to help.

This information that Die Hard provided may be helpful in your communications with Skittles.  Make her learn the Swedish.  :)

These are the Swedish filepaths:

Documents and settings\username\favorites .....Documents and settings\Användarnamn\Favoriter
Documents and settings\username\application data.......Documents and settings\Användarnamn\Application Data
Program Files....Program files That folder exists in the Swedish edition, but a new default program folder is created, called simply "PROGRAM")
Start Menu......Start meny
Desktop.......Skrivbord

To uninstall:

Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.  Wait until the menu populates (until the file list is built by the computer).  When that is finished, Click on Ad-Aware SE Personal to highlight it.  Click Change/Remove and accept the prompts.

I believe this is close in Swedish:

Avinstallera:

    * Välj Start - Inställningar (fi. Käynnistä - Asetukset, eng. Start - Settings).
    * Öppna Kontrollpanelen (fi. Ohjauspaneeli, eng. Control Panel).
    * Välj Svefix.
    * Välj Lägg till/Ta bort program (fi. Lisää/Poista sovellus, eng. Add/Remove Programs).
    * Klicka på knappen Lägg till/Ta bort.

Hej Mimmi :)

Corrine´s knowledge of Swedish is impressive  :thumbsup:

However, the uninstall procedure translated is for Win 9X abd Win2K.

To uninstall an application in XP:

    * Välj Start - Kontrollpanelen (fi. Käynnistä - Asetukset, eng. Start - Settings).
    * Välj Lägg till/Ta bort program (fi. Lisää/Poista sovellus, eng. Add/Remove Programs).
    * Vänta på att listan fylls i
    * Klicka på knappen Lägg till/Ta bort för det program du vill avinstallera och följ anvisningarna på skärmen


Hälsning

Die Hard :)

Now, now, Skittles.  YOU are the one who needs to learn Swedish.  Study the above because you will likely be tested time and again!!!  :D

What to do after uninstall it then?
Well, I know that I have to INstall AAw again but do I go to their site or where do I find it?

Don't wanna uninstall before I know how to INstall!

Tack för hjälpen Corrine och Die Hard!

Go here:  http://www.majorgeeks.com/download506.html

Pick one of the download sites at the top (doesn't matter which one you choose).

You'll get a file download "warning" ... you can choose either Open/Run or Save ... the first choice will automatically run the installer ... the second choice will save the installation file to your hard drive and you will have to manually run it.

I thought it was for free more than a year, but lok what it says:

2. Standard Maintenance and Support
All updates/upgrades for your purchased edition (regardless of build or version) are free of charge for the year following your purchase of the Software.  On each anniversary of your initial purchase, you will be required to pay the yearly maintenance and support fee in accordance with the then applicable price list to continue receiving updates/upgrades for that following year.

Any suggestions?

Mimmi

Is that the swedish way to spell Skittles?  LOL  And are you asking for some TOAST?  hehehehe  btw...how do you spell that correctly?  I know that when I pronounce it, it sounds like toost!  lol  Since what you say is actually translated Scittles, Read In My Lips...are you saying that you have toast in your lips?  cuz you swedes should be just saying läs mina läppar....read my lips!  It would be "cleaner" that way!

They wrote that agreement for both the free and purchased versions.  So they wrote it in the event that you got the purchased version.  Since you have the free version, this does not apply.
