Attention Ad-Aware users: we have news for you! We’re going to be rolling out two exciting new changes in the upcoming July Ad-Aware release –
1. Anti-virus is soon to be included in Ad-Aware Free
2. An all-new Ad-Aware product is on the way
We’re pleased to announce that a new version of Ad-Aware Business Edition is now available – providing powerful, centrally managed endpoint malware protection to businesses of all shapes and sizes (from small companies with 25 workstations up to large enterprises with over 100,000 client machines.)
What will you find in the new version? Ad-Aware Business Edition includes: advanced, real-time online protection against viruses, spyware, rootkits, and blended malware, the layered protection of Genotype detection technology and behavior-based heuristical detection to find and block unknown and emerging attacks, centralized, flexible client management allowing the IT admin to manage policies and tasks, and easy installation and deployment of new clients – including the option to use standard Windows Active Directory.
To learn more, read the official news release or visit the Ad-Aware Business Edition product page on the Lavasoft website.
Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware software was recently reviewed in Virus Bulletin’s April comparative test.
PC World recently published its list of the greatest free downloads and services, and named Lavasoft’s own Ad-Aware as one of its top 10 classic products of all-time, alongside the likes of OpenOffice, Evite, and other user favorites.
Thanks to PC World for spotlighting Lavasoft’s long experience in online security (after all, we are the original anti-spyware company) – and our commitment to providing Ad-Aware Free completely free of charge for computer users around the world, no strings attached!
Following this week’s release of version 8.2 of Ad-Aware, Lavasoft became aware of an issue with scanning that affected a limited number of our Ad-Aware users. This has only affected users of Windows XP (Home and Professional).
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may have caused. Lavasoft’s developers prioritized this issue in order to promptly resolve it, and a software update to fix the issue has now been released. In order to resolve the issue, please update Ad-Aware by clicking “Web Update.”
Today, we updated our anti-malware software, bringing you new features that will give a boost to your security whether you use Ad-Aware Free, Ad-Aware Plus, or Ad-Aware Pro.

Ad-Aware!
You may have seen our blog post last week giving you a look at the new Ad-Aware Game Edition, the spin-off of Ad-Aware that provides protection to gamers as they play.
Did you know that we also have a video tutorial available on the latest version of Ad-Aware? Have a look below to get a good, brief overview of Ad-Aware Internet Security.
It’s an exciting day for us here at Lavasoft. And, we think it will be for gamers around the world once they get wind of this news: Lavasoft has just launched a new version of our flagship security software – a spin-off of Ad-Aware that’s aimed specifically at online gamers and entertainment fans, providing protection as you play.
October saw Ad-Aware reach another milestone in its history with the launch of Ad-Aware in Swedish!
It has long confused people that a company based in Sweden has a flagship product which doesn’t speak the company’s native tongue, but the truth be known, many in the Lavasoft family do not speak Swedish either! As a truly global company, we have around 15 nationalities represented in our headquarters, based in Gothenburg, so English has always been the company language.
