replace the '.ref' file with the file in your ad aware folder.

What Version of ad aware do you haveSE Pro 105 / SE Personal
Then just uninstall it.Then Reinstall it
and update.
If you have the older version 181 then upgrade
If you have older versions of ad aware uninstall/delete
if it doesn't update do what {I}{K}{E} posted
http://download.lavasoft.de.edgesuite.net/public/defs.zip
down load ref file to desktop unzip it
copy unzipped ref file to lavasoft directory
normally c:-program files/lavasoft/Ad-Aware SE Professional OR Ad-Aware SE Personal .
then paste.
Do not have ad aware running while you copy and paste ref file
that includes ad watch.
Start ad aware.
Also get spybot

Dear Customer
Important notice for users of Ad-Aware 6 all versions
Please upgrade to Ad-Aware SE.
We are now discontinuing reference file and product support for Ad-Aware 6
and urge users to upgrade their existing copies to the new Ad-Aware SE. We
continued support of the older version of Ad-Aware to allow users time to
upgrade while still enjoying the protection they have come to expect from
our software.
