The latest "reflist" is available for download.
It now handles the previous EzUla versions. This file can be obtained on the Lavasoft download page: http://65.108.0.105/Lavasoft/index.htm
091-27.06.01 will show in your GUI, once it has been unzipped to your Ad-Aware folder.
As always it is available at our mirror: http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html

Thanks for the link, Renovator. Why is it that I can find no reference to AdAware on their site if I just go to LavaSoft.com? https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Buffalo, Because their site is www.lavasoftusa.com
That's strange, I have always gone to www.lavasoft.de for some reason. Thanks for the local link....

We (LurkHere) started holding copies for LS last October...basically Ad-Aware is very popular and it takes a good bit of server to handle it. So, the mirror sites help spread the load.
k4, I think that more often than not recently, the Euro address was actually linking back to the LavasoftUSA site. The LavasoftUSA site is the main download site and is hosted by VoiceOfThePublic for Lavasoft.
Due to the nature of the beast, it's just a good idea to become familiar with the mirrors.
Renovator,
The lavasoft site you have linked plus another I have bookmarked are still showing the latest reflist as 87.24.06.2001. Have downloaded from your mirror site.

Found the same as Alwill.

Alwill and Train,
If you are seeing the old file on the frame page at the LS site...there are folks that will think you forgot to clear your cache, or didn't refresh a page, or some other nonsense.
In fact, that is exactly why we started to mirror. Somehow that HTML hangs around the server, and old pages and files will show on certain machines for a few days... then the new pages will be shown to the effected machines.
I've pretty much become a pariah with my views on server file maintance and file loading techinques.
I updated from http://65.108.0.105/Lavasoft/index.htm early today.
Unzipped to my desktop then opened Explorer and dragged it over the old reflist and it updated A-Ok.

An hour or so after posting above I revisited the lasvasoft link in Renovator's post and the new reflst was then in place.
This here machine is squeaky clean and undergoes a dryclean each night so I was and am confident that whatever was the problem, it had nothing to do with my PC
Alwill,
Trust me, I know there is nothing "wrong" with your machine.
But the page you saw, that you refered to in your last post, has been on that server since about a half hour before I made my first post.
I did believe, some how some machines can see the old files more often than others...the fact that you and Train mentioned it this time...and I did not, makes this curiouser and curiouser.
What is real goofy, is that this has happened on at least three different servers that LS has used in the last year.
I have found on certain pages that, even if I regularly clean internet temp files,history, cookies etc, that unless after loading I do a refresh, I get the version of the web page that I last loaded. (Download page from Visual Python, Cygwin home page is like that for example).
Sometimes, in fact, I have to hit refresh multiple times to get the old darn version to clear.
I don't know why this happens, but I have learned to look for it.
------------------
I try to keep an open mind, but not so open as my brain falls out.
I trust you Renovator and thank you for your assuring words.

Tip#22: ??? I'm thinking about it.

I have the same situation. I run a cornicopia or protection that block refreshing of cookies etc.. webwasher.com zonealarm, inocculateIT and now my new paid for pccillin. I've noticed with pccillin those annoyances are gone after about two or three scans and some online configurations .. breath of fresh air in my surfing and I surf a lot!
More to it than just pccillin.. I removed a few apps in msconfig that helped. but I really have noticed a significant change in surfing because of it's control over the internet. there is a 30 day trial but I just went ahead and bought it.

Tip#22: ??? I'm thinking about it.
Had done a deltree on internet folder the night before. And that was the first time I had gone there afterward.
Updated and run it today. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Will agree something was goofy. But what, I have no idea.
It is however curious tho . . .

For a while I thought maybe the mysterious TIF index.dat had something to do with it.
I ran a bunch of trials when it happened to me and that wasn't it.
It never happened to me on the new server until v5.4b was loaded. It took 2 days before I could see it on this screen...even though I had screen shots of what most folks saw.
I made sure the machine was totally clean and reloaded...I could watch each file (.gif) load in the status bar and then show up in TIF's...the old files are being served.
Keep in mind it happens during the surge. The server is being pushed. A common practice is to upload files with the same name to overwrite. I think that sets up a condition for random "data recovery"...some folks just get the wrong pointers, when the server is doing all that it can, to meet the demand.
Funny, but at about the time you guys started to see the current page...some forum page files went missing on the same server.
Mach2, because of my skeptism...I receive the file to be loaded to my server...I install it on my machine, run some basic tests, and make sure the GUI and reflists corrolate, then I rename the file to reflect it's version, load that to the server, and update my download index page. All of it should corrolate, that's as safe as I know how to make it.
As far as v5.5 itself goes, I think about 2 million copies have been served, I have not seen a documented error at this time.
