As reported in Spyware Warrior, Lavasoft adjusted its Threat Assessment Chart and put WhenU back in Ad-Aware's definition file. One problem with an adware company cleaning up its act and trying to get out of antispyware definition lists is that there's usually a ton of old installations of their software crippling computers.
