Lavasoft’s advanced Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology roots out deeply hidden malware and then searches for similar codes in order to identify emerging variants. Ad-Aware 2008 thoroughly scans your memory, registry, Hosts file, hard, removable and optical drives for known data-mining, aggressive advertising, parasites, scumware, keyloggers, Trojans, dialers, malware, browser hijackers, tracking components and rootkits. The extended engine in Ad-Aware 2008 Plus and Pro boosts detection to include over one million additional virus and malware threats.

Ad-Aware 2008 Features:

  • Improved Threat Detection on spyware, adware, trojans, hijackers, fraud tools, rogue applications, password stealers and keyloggers
  • Enhanced Rootkit removal system
  • Faster Updates & Faster Scans
  • Less Resource Usage for optimal computer performance
  • Easy to Download, Install and Use
  • Lavasoft ThreatWork submission tool
  • Compatible with Windows Vista (32- and 64-bit)

    • Ad-Aware 2007 is 20.1MB in size and Ad-Aware 2008 is 18.3MB. Even though there are new features, they manage to trim down the size and uses less system resources.

    For FREE version, many features would be unavailable. If you try to do a Custom Scan, Schedule a scan, enable Ad-Watch, start Process Watch and Hosts File Editor, you’ll get a message saying “You have to upgrade to either Plus or Pro version of Ad-Aware 2008 to use this feature“. Even though the FREE version doesn’t allow to schedule a scan from Ad-Aware, you can always use Scheduled Tasks in Windows to schedule automatic scanning at a specific time of the day using command line parameters.

    Ad-Aware 2008 looks pretty much the same as the previous version Ad-Aware 2007. My favorite version of Ad-Aware is definitely version 1.06. It is so light, does what it is supposed to and it is portable (can copy the whole folder to an external USB flash drive). However, since version 2007, it has already became bloatware. Launching the program takes up 45MB of memory. No matter what, Ad-Aware is always one of the top spyware removal programs. Download and try it yourself!
