× Software :: Anti-Adware :: Ad-Aware 2007

What is Ad-Aware 2007?

Ad-Aware is an excellent program for scanning your system (including your registry) for Spyware and Adware. It is available for Free but with limited access to certain functions. However, the free version is still very handy for anyone looking to eliminate their Adware and Spyware problems..

...and what are its security features?

Ad-Aware has the ability to scan your registry, external storage devices, and hard drives for unwanted data trackers, advertisements, and other Spyware. Additionally, once Ad-Aware has identified a threat, the user can then remove it. However, a serious threat may require several scans and removals. Also, definition updates make sure that your system is protected from the newest threats.

Any cool extra features?

After a scan has completed, Ad-Aware presents threats in a summary report for easy viewing. Although the free version is limited, it still has useful tools like TrackSweep. TrackSweep cleans up the cache, browsing history, and cookies left by your web browser after surfing the web. If you choose to upgrade to the paid version, many more useful tools are included. For instance, Ad-Watch is used for real-time defenses against Adware and Spyware. This may be a necessary function for those that encounter Adware and Spyware frequently. Overall, this program is user-friendly and highly recommended!
