Upon clicking Ad-Aware's Integrated Web Update Tool Button, you will be prompted with a screen that will prepare you to update the definitions of Ad-Aware. The definition file is Ad-Aware SE's detection list. It is based on Lavasoft's new Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology and replaces the reference file used in earlier versions of Ad-Aware.

Upon clicking the "Configure" button in Ad-Aware's Web Update window will prompt you to change "proxy" Settings if necessary. Since 99% of home users will never use this, it is not a necessary step. To activate the update click the "Connect" button on the Ad-Aware window.

Under where the screen reads "Current Operation" it indicates that Ad-Aware is connecting to it's servers to ensure that the definition file is the most up to date. If it is not, Ad-Aware will download the most up to date definition file and place it into the proper directory so it can refer to it when performing scans.

If Ad-Aware has no updates to apply the screen will look exactly like so.
