Ad Aware - It cleans spywares, malwares from your computer

Even the safest surfer cannot protect his system from getting infected, if not with virus then with trojans, spywares, adwares or other malwares. If you block them then many sites won't open. So, you cannot afford to add too many restrictions in your computer configuration.

Ad aware has been one of the most famous ad & spy removal tool. It comes in three versions, free, professional and plus. It's a product of lavasoft and widely used tool.

The C-Net and users rating for this tool is 4 out of 5 which is best and that is after when 255,000,000+ downloads has been done. So you can estimate level of confidence and trust, users are putting into this.

The free version is also very powerful. Just make sure that you are updating the definition file before running the tool on your machine. The only limitation is that it is not providing you real time protection. Still, you can schedule a run for ad-aware either on daily, weekly or monthly basis.


It gives you option of full system scanning, custom scanning etc, smart scanning with each selecting some and ignoring options.

For running this the first time, it's better to run the deep scan the system(full scan) and then smart scan or custom scan afterwards.

It can be downloaded from http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

Do you know any other tool which can be helpful. I have tried it and this doesn't help me in removing pop-ups of WinAntivirus.com
