Pardon me for not posting any articles on time today because I was waiting for this one as I wanted to be the first to tell you that the official Ad-Aware 2008 final version is here! Ad-Aware has always been one of my favorite spyware removal tool since version 1.06 and it has successfully helped me cleaned many spyware infested computer. It is currently second most popular and downloaded software in Download.com.

I will be selecting one lucky subscriber to get the new Ad-Aware 2008 PRO license key code for free. For those who’ve subscribed and want to be in the draw, please leave a comment. The winner will be announced tomorrow. There are 3 versions of Ad-Aware. Free, Plus and Pro. The PRO version unlocks all features to fully protect your computer from spywares, rootkits and viruses.
Ad-Aware 2008 is the latest version of Lavasoft’s industry leading anti-spyware solution. Ad-Aware 2008 allows you to combat the growing threats and latest advancements of malicious spyware and malware. Its powerful anti-spyware software now includes integrated anti-virus protection, as well as extended threat detection, for Ad-Aware 2008 Plus and Pro versions.

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!
[ Download Ad-Aware 2008 ]
22 May 2008 Update: There are a total of 208 participants in Ad-Aware 2008 Pro draw. I’ve decided to give out 3 PRO license instead of one. I extracted all emails and randomized the list using Randomizer.org. The first THREE will get the Ad-Aware 2008 Pro license. Congrats to Solaris (gameolosophy), Nirmal (admin) and Anthony (amlopez29)! You will be receiving an email from me shortly.

Specially need free activation/Licence code for iola antivirus please.
I would like to wish you, all the best for your perfect
service. You are great. Please send me a free Licence, activation code.
Thanks
please send me the activation code free
please can you give me number serial for ad aware pro,tank you and good day
A big mistake is to think that the free version can not be scheduled to run a full scan. It can! Ad-aware has a command-line program that you cna use with Windows Scheduler.
C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware>ad-awarecommand scan full
C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware>ad-awarecommand /? – Will give you a list of options
Just create a new schedule using the first command above, set the time and away you go!
it is the best i see.

Dear RAYMOND Sir,
I want the registration code of Ad-Aware 2008 7.1.0.8
Yo, no tengo opinion por el momento pero por todos los mensajes que tienes sobre AD-Aware. pronto tendras noticias mias.
primera vez que lo voy a utilizar, ojal
Hi Raymond,
Your website is like a shining jewel in haystack. Was floored by its wide spectrum of content – all mighty useful and helpful.
I am afraid I\’ve not tried AdAware, so honestly, I can\’t comment upon that. I have been using AVG AntiSpyware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spyware Blaster.
But I\’m quite aware of the fact that AdAware (especially the PRO version with its real-time protection) is one of the best in the scene today.
I like this software very much it has much more power to detect spyware & trojens I desparately wanted the genuine licence of this software hoping that if I would be the lucky winner
regards
Syed Usama
Yappi….GreatS. I wish i get one
solo he usado el free y es malito pero supongo que con el pro sera bueno
Ok i will resend the email. Thank you for waiting. :mrgreen:
Nope, I did not receive. I’ve even checked my SPAM folder but nothing.
Raymond,
Did you receive my reply email? if not, then i will try to resend it again.
Solaris, I’ve already sent the email. Please check your SPAM/JUNK folder.
Raymond,
i am still waiting for your e-mail. thanks. :mrgreen:
I love ad-aware. I use it all the time and it’s always worked great for me. Thanks Raymond for the opportunityto be a member.

Thanks Raymond for choosing me as a winner. :mrgreen:
I would like to try it!
Dear Raymond:
This time your selection criteria is better i.e. instead of randomly giving somebody the license code (who may already have one, or does not want) you are actually looking for those who are interested
Dear Mr Raymond,
Whether I get the key or not it does not matter, but want to tell you that I am surprised with the amount of skill and knowledge you have and the amount of time you spare for this blog. In fact I am addicted to your site. I feel lucky to have located your site.
Regards
hey ray. i am fan of you . i pray to god that i will be the winner of pro key or any other version. i keep a look everyday at your site and your emails on my id. hey ray

Thanks for your work ~

Hi
I really hope i get this because i have the free version which is good but it takes ages to check my computer and so i rarly get to check if i have any spyware. This is bad because i have a limit of 11mbs a day (set by my dad) and spyware takes a big chunk out of my limit.
Anyway, good luck everyone
it’s good
why not, its free . tks
If this product is half as good as you say it is, I really need to win it.
I would love to win as I need something new soon anyway.
Cool. I was waiting for Ad-Aware 2008. Hope I win the license.
u r great raymond!
hehe raymond bro!! if you give me the pro key then i’m sure that i’m going to use this software otherwise its useless for me… so bro don’t be late give it to me this time your pro key and make me one of the greatest user of this software .. :-)
Always your admire
i mean can we download the update file separately by browser/download manager (like AVG free-manual update website) and place it in Ad Aware 2008 directory? (like my old Ad Aware 1.06)?
thanks raymond
best of luck to all..
Raymond, I’d love to win this!

thank you raymond!!! you are the best
Lavasoft always comes up with another new version… I have 2007 Pro and I’m sticking with it. Good luck to the contestants!
hi,
the first time i used adaware was in 2002 and it required 3 or 4 passes to completely remove adwares and other stuff from my desktop.
ever since, i found the application powerful yet very light in using resources of my desktop. my OS then was win 98.
now that im using winXP x64, i glad to know from you that adaware 2008 is finally released and that it works even with winXP x64. yahoo! even if i don’t get the pro key, just the freeware version is powerful enough for me.
but then, nothing beats having the full capability of adaware running in my desktop.
more power to you!
Marking my presence… o/
thats raymond style trademark post
yeah, its good software… I\\\’d love to try the plus
More power, this one is good hope i can win this time.
OHHH! Count me In Raymond!
Congrats to whomever Wins,
Jason

Sweet!
I\\\’ve been using the free version of AdAware for years and have been very happy with it. The Pro version, of course, provides even more protection.
cheers :)
Good for me.
Thanks Ray, I try to spend an hour each day checking updates for my library of software but you always get there first – I think I better call you Raymind_Magii !!!!! LOL.

Thanks Raymond. Good Luck Everyone. Good Luck to Me Too! :)
I’m also a girl like aish20april and I don’t see anything unusual about a girl finding blogs like this interesting.
I’ve been using the free edition of Ad-Aware for a few months now; but when my computer got raided by a trojan and spywares, Ad-Aware wasn’t able to detect all the threats that MBAM and SpyHunter did. This leaves me to wonder whether Ad-Aware is really as great as you all say it is. Nevertheless, I didn’t uninstall the program from my computer.
It is better than adaware personal edition
I have subscribed to you Raymond very long and this is a very cool blog :)
i tried using the free edition…hope to get the pro! haha
Thanks _ I have put adaware on many many friends and colleauges computers over the past 5 years. – congrats to lavasoft for this “free” utility -
what I will do with twice the luck?
