Ad-Aware 2008 Pro: feature-rich, intuitive security software.(REVIEWS: SOFTWARE)(Product/service evaluation)
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SPYWARE and adware, Lavasoft has been among the most conspicuous players. We recently tested Ad-Aware 2008 Pro, its top-of-the-line product, and were fairly impressed with the results.
The program's basic anti-spyware and adware manual scan has a well-deserved reputation for quality. The custom scan is highly configurable in terms of what it will scan for and where, and you can now set it to also search for viruses. We found it did an excellent job of finding those, including relatively new strains. We also liked the variety of scanning options, which allowed us to tell At-Aware not to scan any files above a user-specified size, to remove malicious layered service providers, to employ deep archival scans and unload malicious processes, and so on. Among the other options available are three increasingly sophisticated levels of heuristic scanning. A good help system provides plenty of written detail and examples about everything.
