Description
With the ability to scan your RAM, registry, hard drives, and external
storage devices for known data-mining, advertising, and tracking components,
Ad-aware SE easily can clean your system, allowing you to maintain a higher
degree of privacy while you surf the Web.
Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition boasts a number of improvements. Extended memory
scanning now scans all modules loaded by a process. Scanning uses the all-
new CSI (Code Sequence Identification) technology to identify new and unknown
variants of known targets. Extended registry scanning now scans registry
branches of multiple-user accounts and performs additional smart checks to
detect dynamically created references. Scanning speed is noticeably faster,
and this version offers an Extended Scanning mode for known and
unknown/possible browser hijackers.
Review of Ad-aware SE Personal Edition
One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-
aware SE Personal Edition's excellent reputation is well justified. The sky-
blue, skinnable interface features five buttons. The first two, Status and
Scan, lead to the core function of the application. These buttons initiate a
scan of your files for adware components. After scanning is complete, the
program presents a summary of results, followed by a list from which you
select exactly which components to remove. Right-clicking an individual entry
gives some information about the piece of suspected adware, though we would
like more details. Ad-aware SE can alert you to more malignant forms of
malware by separating items into critical and negligible categories. The
third button, Ad-watch, is nonfunctional in the Standard version. The fourth
button, Plug-ins, shows you which Ad-aware plug-ins are installed. The fifth
leads to the help files.
Ad-aware SE does an excellent job of quickly finding and removing most adware
and spyware components, although you will have to restart and rescan for a
seriously infected machine. We were pleased to see an auto-update feature
included with the program, keeping Ad-aware up-to-date with the latest adware
components. Ad-aware SE should be part of your arsenal for keeping your
machine free of adware and spyware components.
