Detection, Prevention and
Protection of Spyware
The Internet is a great information resource, but it is also, unfortunately,
riddled with truly malicious software. Although most users are familiar with
computer viruses, they may only vaguely understand a new variety of software
threats that have emerged over the past few years. This menace takes many forms,
but it can be broadly categorized as spyware, and the risks it brings include
privacy invasions, online theft and reduced computer performance.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ad-Aware SE Plus is an anti-spyware software designed to address this menace.
Adding the background-running Ad-Watch real-time monitor to the free Personal
edition, Ad-Aware SE Plus is now capable of not only scanning the system after
the fact but also preventing infection before it happens. Ad-Watch accomplishes
this by watching memory for undesirable processes, stopping modification
attempts to Windows registry and system files, and preventing hostile content
from taking over the browser. Furthermore, both Ad-Watch and the Ad-Aware scan
engine make use of Lavasoft’s Code Sequence Identification technology, which
detects also many of the unknown variants of known malicious software.
The Ad-Aware SE Plus Edition allows you to
- Scan fixed and removable drives, memory and Windows registry
- Protect against aggressive adware, browser hijackers, data miners,
dialers, DLL injection, keyloggers, selected Trojans, tracking cookies and
many more types of malicious content
- Block registry modifications and malware installation attempts in real
time
- Detect not only known but also unknown variants of malware by using the
Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology
- Automatically update reference file
- Take advantage of a fully featured quarantine support
- Customize operation including setting up schedules for scan and reference
file updates
- Log information about scans and malicious content removals
