AdAware 7.1.0.8 Free Version is a program to keep your PC free of adware.
It accomplishes this task by updating itself through internet with the different definition updates that Lavasoft prepares, and then scanning your system for those threats.
When you install the program, it will automatically update its definition files.
Then, you will be shown the main screen, where you will see your current system protection status, including information regarding your license, the definition files and the report of the last scan.
From here you can perform a scan (Smart, or Full, Custom is for Pro version). The scan will look for threats in your computer, and then will show you its results, classifying the threats by its importance. You can them chose to remove to ignore the threats or quarantine them. You can schedule the program to perform scans at a given time.
The program can also use a built-in utility, called AdWatch, to scan your files on the fly while you work with them, keeping your system clean.
Advantages:
- It´s fast, accurate and free.
Disadvantages:
- None.
