Lavasoft Launches Version 10 Of Popular Anti-Malware Software Ad-Aware [Updates]

Lavasoft just released version 10 of Ad-Aware. As always, Ad-Aware promised to give users peace of mind by keeping them safe while they work and play with their computers. Ad-Aware protects computers from viruses, spyware and adware. Of course, there is a free version as well as two premium versions. The free version offers enough protection for most users. If you are interested in getting the free version, or downloading a trial of one of the premium versions, download it here.

The main feature that this update brings is faster performance. This version of Ad-Aware uses far less system resources than previous versions. Version 10 of Ad-Aware also includes a completely redesigned user interface that is easier to navigate. It also includes enhanced real-time monitoring and download protection, which stops malware before it is opened and prevents it from getting the chance to do any damage.

Ad-Aware has also added game mode, which monitors in the background without interrupting while users play a game or watch a video full-screen. It also uses less system resources than older versions, so gaming performance will not be affected by having the protection running in the background.

The Ad-Aware interface is super-smooth and everything seems to work better than the previous versions. It is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a new method of protecting your computer.

    Messed up my pc. Took me almost an hour of uninstalling, searching and cleaning to fix it. On the bright side, I learned how to use CCleaner and Autoruns a little more.

      Sorry to hear that. Generally, LavaSoft programs work for me without issue. At least you fixed it!
