AdAware disables the real-time-protection (v12.10.246.0, Win 10 pro)
The real-time-protection is greyed and turns not to active, even if I disable the Windows Defender.
The commandline.exe with --enable-realtime-protection say "Real Time Protection component not initialized".
Clean deinstall and new install with newest version doesn't help. New definitions cannot be loaded only at install procedure.
And yes, it is a second antivirus-app installed parallel to win-Defender but works for me last year without problems.
OS: Win 10 Pro actual packages
AdAware: 12.10.246.0

Same problem. On one computer I have grey real time protection on the second I have greyed web and email protection. Nothing helps and no options given to restore it.

Add me as a third victim Same version of the product, only real time protection is affected
AdAware and Defender have run in parallel with no problems for years
Suddenly there is a problem?

Check and see if you're signed in. There seems to be some kind of problem on Adaware's end in signing in, and this software doesn't seem to work at all if you aren't signed in. I keep getting a Maximum Login Exceeded error even when I tried to sign in with Facebook for the first time, instead of the usual sign-in that I've always used.

Wanted to add that I did a complete uninstall and reinstall, and I still get this problem. I can't even get Windows Defender to let me turn Adaware on, likely because of the 0 definitions in there as the Number of Signatures and Definitions release date are both NA. No idea how to turn off Windows Defender either so if there's a way to do that in hopes that that would let me turn on Adaware which might fix the problem (I've put in allowing the exception to it so that shouldn't all of a sudden be blocked).

Same problem here. Sadly signing-in doesn't solve the problem. Neither does clean install.

Same issue here. I was able to get everything working except for the real-time protection after reinstalling, but everything went back to being greyed out when I restarted.

I'm curious how you got it to sign you in as I still can't. Hope they fix this early tomorrow though it might be Tuesday given how the New Year fell on a Sunday.

with or without sign in - the same behavior, just tried.. Sign in via acc not via social media.
Tried to get new definitions... searching..deploying but no new date and no count of definitions...
staying grey...In addition to my first post:
Tried the old version via systemreset to an old restorepoint, same behavior as with the new version. That seems to be not a client than a server problem... but so many clients?0 -

Same issue with Pro. Submitted ticket. No definitions, no real-time protection. Tried repair program, no effect. Tried uninstall and re-install, still not working. Real geniuses at AdAware.

I have the same problem, Real Time, Web and Email Protection greyed out. Also shows that Definition files are outdated but program won't download any updates. Seems a common issue. Tried the re-install, etc but no joy. Anyone found a solution?

The only solution I've found to get rid of this crap (and ask for a refund if you've been using the paid version).

If emailed them several times only answer I get is we’re sending it to the appropriate department in other words the run around it’s obviously on there end estreiher might be right

Same issue for me also.

Add me to the ever-increasing list of people who are also suffering from this problem but has nothing substantial to add that wouldn't be just repeating what has already been said.

Yep, me too, and 3 others in my family

I finally got a response from Adaware & they have asked for debug file & a log file, which I have sent if I get anything back I'll post it here.
Good luck people☺

Good on you John because the response I got from them was utterly pathetic. They told me to sign in with a completely different email (used this one with them for years and years) to get past the Maximum Login error that they created that I thought was part of the problem with this issue. I've already gone to AVG. Such a shame that they've broken everything and this was their response.

Another victim here with the Pro version. Have tried to get in touch with Adaware, only been told that my concern is submitted to the proper person. Still waiting.
Absolutely appalling. I have only very recently renewed my annual subscription, so not feeling like I want to rush out to find another provider.
It is the silence from Adaware about this issue, which is very concerning and upsetting. If at least they put out a statement saying that they are aware of the problem and working on it.

After my WEB form has been ignored for several days, I decided to try the Chat
"We are aware of the problem and are working to fix it as soon as possible"
When I pointed out that I was using Pro, not freeware, I was graciously offered a one month extension of my subscription, and that I would be advised by EMail when a solution had been implemented!

Same issue.....

After a week and some change with no assistance from Adaware, I decided to try a few more things myself. I went to Settings > Apps > adaware antivirus > Modify > Repair Adaware Antivirus and let it run through the process. Everything seems to be working again.

Hey Jef
I tried you suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work for me. Still waiting on Adaware to fix the issue, they do answer my emails but only suggestions that I have already tried. This is really starting to piss me off

I turned the computer on just now (never did yesterday) and surprise, surprise everything seems to be ok once again.
