You are exposed to online attacks every time you perform a simple activity, like checking e-mail or worse, downloading a product. In order to keep your computer up-to-date with the latest malicious threats, you need to get yourself a strong security technology. Ad-Aware Free Internet Security is a small but very powerful security tool that provides you with protection against viruses, spyware, and malware. Its user interface is very simple to follow, and the features are clearly established. In the main menu you can view the status and statistics of Web Update, Scan System, and Ad-Watch Live!. Performing a scan gives you three options: Smart Scan, Full Scan, and Profile Scan. Smart Scan is a quick tool that browses your system, but only in the most critical parts of it (e.g. Windows system files), while Full Scan is a deep scan mode that looks into the entire local drives. In Scan Settings you can configure Ad-Aware to scan in critical areas, running applications, Windows registry entries, ads, tracking cookies, rootkits, and executable files. As soon as the software finds a virus or similar threat, you have the option of quarantining, removing, ignoring, or allowing it "to live".
