As people move an increasing part of their lives into global and local networks, the development of privacy intrusion techniques and technologies faces exponential growth. The will to eavesdrop on other's private communication is reaching new heights. As this occurs, the concept of privacy is being obliterated. Privacy is under attack, giving birth to the current situation where consumer's private information is commonly considered to be an approved target. The constantly increasing demand to acquire personal and confidential information has boosted the supply of eavesdropping techniques and technology.

As readers of the Lavasoft blog know, we often come across products and websites that try to piggyback on the name of our company or our flagship product, Ad-Aware, to take advantage of you.  And whenever we do, we make it a priority to get the word out to prevent users from getting scammed.

We've been alerted to a deceptive advertising method that you should be on the lookout for.

This coming year, 2009, marks Lavasofts 10th anniversary of providing computer users around the world with the power to protect their privacy and security. You've watched the Lavasoft story unfold over the past decade (don't forget that we were the original anti-spyware company), beginning with our flagship Ad-Aware product and progressively expanding to provide you with more, powerful PC security solutions.
