Ad-Aware Plus allows you to combat the growing threats and latest advancements of malicious spyware and malware. This powerful anti-spyware software now includes integrated anti-virus protection, as well as extended threat detection.
Ad-Aware Plus protects you from spyware and malware that secretly takes control of your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish computer activity and even identity theft through stolen private information.
Ad-Aware Plus gives you the tools to detect hazardous content on your computer, clearly identify their threat level, and then give you the ability to remove unwanted content, so that your private information remains right where it should - under your control.
Lavasoft's advanced Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology roots out deeply hidden malware and then searches for similar codes in order to identify emerging variants.
Ad-Aware Plus thoroughly scans your memory, registry, Hosts file, hard, removable and optical drives for known data-mining, aggressive advertising, parasites, scumware, keyloggers, Trojans, dialers, malware, browser hijackers, tracking components and rootkits.
The extended engine in Ad-Aware Plus boosts detection to include over one million additional virus and malware threats.
