0058.0000 is now available, new definition file for Ad-Aware 2007.

You may have noticed our rogue application definition update last week. It was prompted by the deluge of complaints to our support team about C-NetMedia's AdWareAlert program from people who thought they were buying Lavasoft's AdAware 2007. The update also follows on from the excellent article by Ben Edelman (assisted by our very own Calamity Jane!) on the subject. You can read it here: http://www.benedelman.org/news/021408-1.html.
