Actual
Customer Feedback:
"...I
think this product is easy to
use. Updated regularly and a large Malware database... Scanner
sometimes freezes during a scan, then when you click stop scan the
program crashes, when you open it up again, it will say the scanner is
buisy when it isn't even scanning!"

"...It's
finding
privacy/malware things on my computer that the other programs I have
installed aren't finding. The bottom line is that I'm feeling safer
running this program..."
Portion of actual user comment from
Download.com
"Very
good than spyware doctor only
because of spyware doctor too much heavier than this.This one very much
effective for all threats and comparatively lighter version."
Portion of actual user comment from
SoftPedia.com
"...impressed
by how comprehensive the
scanning tools were, picking up threats in our tests with no problems
but, despite offering a number of improvements including virus
protection, it does feel a little thin on the ground. The lack of
integration of the Ad-Watch component is also annoying and, despite the
uncluttered interface, it can be awkward to use..."
Portion of actual user comment from
Pcw.co.uk
"...detects
much more malware than the
previous standalone anti-spyware software... while the company says the
addition pits Ad-Aware Pro against major antivirus apps, Ad-Aware
doesn't perform the full range of malware checks typical to programs
such as Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky. It doesn't run 'on-access'
antivirus scans whenever a file is saved to your hard drive..."
Portion of actual user comment from
PCWorld.com
"...Spyware
removal in this version is excellent, in part due to the new antivirus
scanner. The product's real-time protection, however, is years out of
date."

combat threats and latest advancements of malicious spyware
and malware. This anti-spyware software now includes
integrated anti-virus protection, as well as extended threat detection.
Ad-Aware Plus protects the user from

secretly takes control of the computer, resulting in aggressive
advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity and even identity theft
through stolen private information. In everyway, it is similar to
Ad-Aware Pro.
The main difference between the Plus and Pro
versions are the addition of
anti-virus protection, extended threat detection, and real-time
monitoring. Real-time monitoring means that users are protected as they
use the Internet. Other additional features include automatic updating,
custom scanning of specific directories, scheduled scans, a hosts file
editor and cookie blocking.
