Although Internet is a powerful tool which proposes to the Net surfers many useful things, and often diverting, to see and make, it also has its obscure side.
The majority of people know the freeware, the shareware, the cookies, the multimedia players, the contents interactive and the file-sharing. On the other hand, they do not realize that these elements contain sometimes codes or components which make it possible their developers to collect and to disseminate information on the people who use them. These codes or components are called spywares.
They can follow your practices on the Web, to benefit from your connection Internet to send their data to thirds, to establish the profile of your preferences as regards shopping, to pirate the banner page of your navigator, to deteriorate important system files, and all that, without your knowledge. The implications of these exploits on the level of safety and the private life are rather obvious and nobody wishes to try out them on his system or network!
But there are always solutions and tools which will help you to fight against these mean creatures. One of them is Lavasoft Ad-Ware which is now in his new version 2007 about which we did wrote and which we also did tested in beta phase. Ad-Aware 2007 is a utility which checks the memory, register base and the hard drives in order to detect Spywares known and to withdraw them without risk. ... Read full Ad-Aware 2007 Review »
"We were the first on the global market with anti-spyware protection when it was still largely unknown. And now with a decade behind us as a leader in the anti-malware industry, we know that todays computer users need advanced technology that comes in the form of a light, easy-to-use product," said Lavasoft CEO Jason King.
King continued, "We have focused our efforts for this new version on our core competence for online security – blocking, detection, removal, and clean-up – and we have poured our technological advances in these core areas instead of simply adding more bells and whistles that generally add to the strain on a users computer. "The repair and clean-up of files after a malware infection is one of the main competitive advantages for Ad-Aware.
Most companies today are good at finding and removing malware, but there is a final step of repairing and cleaning-up the aftermath of a computer infection that distinguishes Ad-Aware from other products on the market.
