Hi Les,
I'll attempt to answer your questions as best I can. As for the company, I
have always assumed it to be one company with one line of products. The
information available on their Web site supports this in that they are a
large corporation with a presence in over 100 countries worldwide. As for
the correct spelling, I have seen it spelled several different ways but
Lavasoft spells it "Ad-Aware".
I can not explain why there are different versions/builds of Ad-Aware. You
might pose that question to them. I was not aware there was an Ad-Aware
Personal Edition 6.0. I have always seen it as Ad-Aware6.0 Build xxx. In the
"About" section of the one I have it states, "Ad-Aware SE Personal Build
1.04, written by Nicolas Stark, Lavasoft Sweden". I downloaded it from
MajorGeeks.com in the U.S.A. and I live in the U.S.A.
Below I've included additional information from the About Lavasoft and
Contact Us pages on their Web site. Note that all three links take you to
the same Web page. I hope this has answered some of your questions.

Hi Everyone,
A quick update to my last post on this subject. There's a new version of
Ad-aware available. As of a few minutes ago Download.com did not have the
new version. You can get it at MajorGeeks at this link:
Ad-aware SE Personal Edition 1.04

Not to single you out, Sven, but this brings up something that has been
troubling me for some time. I see AdAware and Ad-Aware and I see LavasoftUSA
and Lavasoft.de (Germany) and the product I am currently using says Ad-Aware
Personal Edition 6.0 from LavasoftSweden. What is going on? Is this one
company? Are all the products the same? Is German version 1.04 replacing
Swedish version 6.0? Is there any relation at all? Can anyone help me on
this?
Thanks,
Les Barnes
