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.
