Ad-Aware is a powerful, renowned anti-spyware tool that strives to protect your Windows PC against online threats.
Full virus and malware protection
An outstanding feature in Ad-Aware is its interface, with
Simple and
Advanced modes and big, colorful buttons that take you to the program’s main tools. The
System scan can be configured to scan the whole system, just the computer’s critical areas or your pre-defined elements.
Ad-Watch Live!, on the other side, can block potentially dangerous processes even before they start.
Beyond this eye-catching interface, Ad-Aware offers some interesting tools, such as comprehensive protection against viruses and malware, full integration with Windows Security Center and Windows Explorer, and automatic updates that help you keep on top of any known threat.
The new version of Ad-Aware offers a significant increase in performance and a completely new malware detection method. That said, keep in mind that Ad-Aware keeps some functions reserved exclusively for the Pro and Plus versions and that, despite improvements, it’s still pretty heavy on resources.
Ad-Aware is a reliable anti-malware tool that will locate and eradicate threats to your PC, even if it's a bit of a resource hog.
