Comments: Remove adware and spyware with the latest version
of this free tool. Ad-aware scans your system, including removable drives, for
adware/spyware and safely removes the software.
With its ability to scan your RAM, registry, hard drives, and external storage devices for known data-mining, advertising, and tracking components, Ad-aware can easily clean out your system, allowing you to maintain a higher degree of privacy while you surf the Web.
The redesigned user interface improvements include more flexibility and control. This includes user-defined file sizes, which speeds up the scanning process by excluding files it recognizes as clean. Other advanced features include automatic quarantine and Recycle Bin storage of removed components, an all-new viewer for backup archives that allows you to quickly and easily review components that have been removed and stored for future restoration, and an integrated reference file updater that can automatically search for new reference files when Ad-aware is started. The latest version includes improved Browser Hijacker detection, hosts file scanning, and a Smart Scan mode that improves speed and has been optimized to detect content at the root. Be aware that some ad-supported programs, such as GoZilla Free, will no longer function if you remove their ad modules.
The standard edition of Ad-aware is free for noncommercial use only. If you want to use it in a commercial, educational, or governmental environment, Lavasoft asks that you purchase Ad-aware Plus or Ad-aware Professional

Comments:
Layered Service Providers (LSP) are small pieces of software that can be added
or inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler by other software. Data outward
bound from your computer to a legitimate destination on the Internet can be
intercepted by an LSP and sent somewhere other than where you intend it to go.
LSP Explorer lets you view active LSP and Name Service Providers on your system,
along with detailed information about each so you can determine whether or not
they're legitimate. Access LSP Explorer can be run directly from the Add-ons
menu. LSP Explorer works with all versions of Ad-Aware.
