Ad-Aware is designed to provide advanced protection from known Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components.

With Lavasoft's Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology, you will not only be protected from know content, but will also have advanced protection against many of their unknown variants. To further protect you, Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition also has the capability to scan and list Alternate Data Streams (ADS) in NTFS enabled volumes.

The IT administrator now has the possibility to centrally control network distributions of Ad-Aware through the Ad-Axis Management Console. The Ad-Axis Management Console works as centralized management of Ad-Aware execution including scheduled execution on corporate network clients. It automatically reports of server status and Malware detection to Internet Mail (SMTP). Ad-Aware reference files are centrally updated, which keeps Internet traffic low and in addition makes reference file updating of your clients simple and secure. The server and client run as Windows?�® services and therefore user interaction is neither necessary nor possible.
