Ad-Aware Free Review

There's absolutely no reason for any PC user to fail to protect their computer against the invading hordes when there's a first-rate antivirus program that can be downloaded for free. Ad-Aware Free reviews report it's as capable as paid programs when it comes to securing a system against viruses and spyware. Softpedia.com is impressed with how effectively the program detected malware in its testing, according to an Ad-Aware Free review, and PC Magazine gives this software its Editors' Choice award for the best free antivirus software currently on the market. PC Magazine's Ad-Aware Free review says this virus protection program outperforms other free software in threats detection and removal. In an Ad-Aware Free review on CNET, experts commend the company for ongoing upgrades, which now include a heuristics-based approach that analyzes the behavior of computer codes to identify threats, but assert that the interface could use a do-over. PC Magazine, on the other hand, likes what it describes as a simple user interface.

Ad-Aware Free includes more features than most free virus protection programs. Beyond its strong basic defensive shield against viruses and spyware, Ad-Aware Free offers rootkit removal and external drive scanning. Like Norton's antivirus program, Ad-Aware Free has a pulse update feature, which automatically updates the library of virus definitions whenever a new one is available.

Ad-Aware Free is ideal for the Cheapists who want to protect their system without spending a dime. The bottom line is that Ad-Aware Free is effective against viruses, spyware, and other malware, and at the end of the day, that's really all you need a good virus protection program to do.
