If you have a university-licensed version of Ad-Aware on your computer, you will no longer be able to update the definition files. This means that as new malware, spyware, and adware is released, your university licensed version of Ad-Aware will become less and less effective. The latest version of Ad-Aware, Ad-Aware 2007, is available for download and use on personal computers from the manufacturer.

DoIT Security is recommending Windows Defender and Trend Micro as universal solutions for viruses and malware. If you do not already have one, please see the following to learn more: Virus Information Center.
