Overview
Looking for better protection from spyware, adware, and computer viruses? You can’t go wrong by choosing Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2008 Plus. Why pay for Ad-Aware when free versions of the same product are available? The Plus version of Ad-Aware adds must-have protections and protects your computer in real-time!
Features
Ad-Aware 2008 Plus adds a variety of features that further enhance the already-exceptional Ad-Aware Free product including:
- Real-time protection - Stop spyware, adware, viruses and other threats in their tracks with real-time blocking.
- Protection from spyware and viruses - While the free version protects against spyware and adware, it doesn’t address computer viruses. Ad-Aware 2008 Plus protects your computer from both spyware and viruses.
- Root kit detection - Root kits sneak in and hide. They also try to stay hidden so that they can carry out their malicious missions such as disabling computer security protections or inviting other malware onboard. Ad-Aware Pro can find and remove these pesky intruders.
- Easy on the memory - Ad-Aware Pro respects your computer’s need for memory and processing power, using up as little as possible. Thus, your computer doesn’t slow down when running Ad-Aware.
- Easy to use - This product is simple to use. Set it up and let it protect your PC from over 1.2 million threats.
Benefits
Having Ad-Aware Plus 2008 installed on your computer allows you to eliminate having two security products running. Instead, just one product actively blocks and removes both spyware and viruses. It also uses little memory, so performance doesn’t suffer for sake of security. This software provides you with the peace of mind you want with little interaction required. You won’t spend a lot of time fiddling with settings or trying to decipher quarantine instructions. Simply setup Ad-Aware Plus and let it get to work on your behalf. Not only will your PC be safe from harmful Internet threats, your identity will be better protected from those intent on stealing it.
How it Works
Like most of Lavasoft’s products, Ad-Aware Pro 2008 requires a yearly subscription. This subscription entitles you to frequent, automatic updates throughout the term which ensures that your computer always has the latest and greatest protections. Multi-PC licenses are also available.
Recommendations
If you like the free version of Ad-Aware, consider spending a little bit of money this time around. The free version is fine for those who are on a budget and don’t mind limited features. However, the upgrade to real-time protection is worth the price. With real-time blocking, malware doesn’t have a chance to spy on you until it is eventually detected. Close the window of opportunity by upgrading to a product that actively blocks both spyware and computer viruses: Ad-Aware Plus.
