It is not difficult to find freeware on the internet but finding really good freeware can be a daunting task. I only post reviews of what I consider to be the best of the best freeware on my web site. Everything I review has no time limits on how long you can use the software and has no forced advertisements. In other words, it is completely free to use. The reason I use Ad-Aware is that it sometimes finds things that Spybot does not.
I have also found that Spybot sometimes finds things that Ad-Aware does not. As a result, I have found it is best to use both programs. The help file does a good job of explaining things if you want to change the settings. There are four options that appear on the following screen. Another time I had some objects that Ad-Aware could not remove. I would get a prompt asking if it could run Ad-Aware at the next start-up. If I said yes, it would run the program at the next start-up but would fail to get rid of the spyware.
This is a little known Windows function that you access by pushing F8 repeatedly during the initial starting sequence of your computer. I then started Ad-Aware and ran a full scan. The full version of this program is one of the better antispyware tools available, but without the ability to remove threats in the trial, your infected computer will remain that way unless you purchase the full version.
I am impressed with the spyware-removal features of the full version of Spyware Doctor, and consider it one of the most effective available, but the anemic free version makes it hard for users to fully realize its true potential. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware Personal 1.
However this free product falls short in preventative protection features that are available only in Lavasoft's paid products. In performance tests conducted by AV-Test. Ad-Aware did the best job of detecting inactive adware and spyware samples. What is beneficial about real-time protection is that it helps prevent threats from landing on your system in the first place. Ad-Aware SE Personal also lacks e-mail tech support. But overall, the free Ad-Aware Personal 1. View my complete profile.
