Ad-Aware 2009 Professional Edition 8.0.2

Ad-Aware 2009 Professional Edition 8.0.2
Ad-Aware 8.0 is the latest version of Lavasoft’s industry leading

anti-spyware solutions. Ad-Aware 2008 allows you to combat the growing

threats and latest advancements of malicious spyware and malware.

Building on 10 years of advanced malware detection, Ad-Aware

Anniversary Edition provides comprehensive malware protection without

loading down your system’s resources, bringing you the core competence

you need to stay safe online.

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.

Ad-Aware 2008 protects you from spyware that secretly takes control of

your computer, resulting in aggressive advertising pop-ups, sluggish

computer activity and even identity theft through stolen private

information. We give you the tools to detect hazardous content on your

computer, clearly identify their threat level, and then give you the

control 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 identity emerging variants. Ad-Aware 2008 thoroughly scans your

memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives for known

data-mining, aggressive advertising, parasites, scumware, keyloggers,

trojans, dialers, malware, browser hijackers, and tracking components.
