Mithshark 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 This program has been a "Best freind" to all of us for a couple years loving all stuff free.Many of us are familiar with the free version of Ad-Aware, which removes unwanted adware and spyware after they land on your PC for $27 the plus version offers more proactive features, such as real-time monitoring for blocking pop-up ads. It also prevents home-page switches in your Web browser, and it prohibits Web site-based Active-X programs from installing on your PC. Finally, the program lets you back up adware components before you remove them, in case you accidentally cripple one you want, such as Kazaa.This latest SE version features improved results screens and more detailed statistics. It lets you protect sensitive system files. It lets you scan your Registry, memory, and hard disk faster and more extensively. It has an improved interface, permanent archive caching, and a new technology to identify new and unknown variants of known targets. Finally, it lets you scan spanned archives and Cabinet files. soem of this sentaces (to random to quote) were takin off of Adaware official site! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DogEater008 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 you could get the Ad aware SE standard version for free at http://download.cnet.com/windows/. The standard version doesn't have features such as ad watch, and other features that i can't think of right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malish 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 It is always better to avoid questionable web sites and only use trusted web sites. Also switch from internet explorer to something less popular for creating viruses. Also if have special knowledge - use registry editing tools and you might avoid slow-down effects of anti-spyware tools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sportytalk 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 I use the free version of ad-aware and don't feel that it would be necessary to spend money on upgrading just to experience this ad-watch program. I'm not too sure what it is, but I use my google toolbar for blocking my pop-up adverts and there's another program, spybot's teapot program which runs in the background and informs me when registry entries have been edited, asks me if i accept the change.These programs are all good and I haven't yet been bombarded with viruses!
