“Core Protection for Your PC”
With behavior-based threat detection and integrated real-time monitoring, Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition focuses on core consumer security needs. Instead of adding layers of bells and whistles–thereby slowing your computer and scans down–we have decided to focus on what really matters. Anniversary Edition provides advanced threat protection, and is significantly lighter and faster than our previous versions.
Numerous changes in Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition include: Behavior-based heuristical detection; Ad-Watch Live! integrated real-time protection; Customizable Profile Scans and full integration with Windows Security Center.
10 years of malware experience combined in one dynamic application. Ad-Aware – Anniversary Edition offers radically improved performance and efficiency, along with comprehensive malware protection. With real-time monitoring, threat alerts, and automatic updates you can rest easy knowing that you are protected. – Lavasoft
Without a doubt, though, this version of Ad-Aware improves greatly on what has come before. It loads faster during your boot cycle. Scans take less time than before, too–the Quick Scan completed in less than 10 minutes. Although we did notice a major false positive crop up for another program’s uninstaller, there were no other flaws in the scan. New users should notice that the app performs faster than integrated antivirus and antimalware programs, because only the paid version of Ad-Aware comes with an antivirus engine. - CNET Editor’s Review
This is an another great security application your computer must have! It has been created and improved itself for over a years now and considered as one of the first applications that detects, removes and prevent malwares from installing itself to your computer. Although this FREE Aniversary Edition has a limited features, it does perfectly what it should be. It has a classic built-in basic real time protection that blocks illegal or malicious processes which the publisher called “Ad-Watch!”. The scanning and detection power is great! It scans fast, detects accurately and permanently removes malwares from your computer.
