Probably of the best anti-spyware & anti-adware utility, the updated version of Lavasoft Ad-Aware has been released. The updated version allows for improved detection of adware & malware & effective scanning that makes use of less of your system resources.

Using this tool together with Spybot since a lot of years. Nice tool but some false alerts which Adaware won't remember when I marked as this. Maybe bug or a feature that is only available in pro version?

Probably some false positive detection...

Anyway, right now you have possibility to Winn license for PRO version at SCforum: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,6153.0.html

Good Luck!

My suggestion is to install latest version, and use them at least once a month.

Lavasoft Adaware has received top scores from various independent testing laboratories and its high ratings seem justified. I put together a folder full of known viruses, malware, and adware samples and it successfully identified them during both the quick and full scans.

It was immediately obvious that this is a very comprehensive program. Besides three scanning modes, users are able to tweak the scanning speed to manage impact on system performance.
