Beta Four was released today, so make sure you download and are working with the most up-to-date fixes.

Speaking of fixes, you'll find them on The Beta Page after you log-in on the Beta-Applications page, or in the beta forums.

We've also added a button on The Beta Page so that you can track what bugs you've submitted. Make sure to check it out.

Thanks for another great week of feedback and creepy crawlers (bugs)!

Lavasoft News recently interviewed blog pioneer Rebecca Blood, who had some insightful things to say about the progression of the "web log."

"Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone is passionate about something. For some people it's their profession, for some people it's their family, and for others it?s politics or knitting or food. The Web enables people to connect with others who share their interests - whether that interest is shared by only 3 other people, or by 3000."

Thank you for your overwhelming response to the Ad-Aware 2007 Beta, and for your patience.

We've done our part to optimize the process, and we'd like you to return to the Beta-Applications page in the Security Center to log-in with your e-mail and password to enter The Beta Page. You will find everything you need on The Beta Page including the Beta download, instructions, bug report forms, an area to submit your ideas, a beta forum, features, and more!

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for ...

We are proud to announce that the Ad-Aware 2007 Beta has arrived!

For the 120,000 + beta testers that have registered to be among the first to try the all-new Ad-Aware, you can now download the Beta by using your registration information to log in to the Beta - Applications page in the Lavasoft Security Center (and keep in mind, it's not too late to register as a Lavasoft beta tester, if you have not already done so).

We don't like to brag. OK, maybe sometimes, only when it's really, really necessary.

The public beta for Ad-Aware 2007 is still a few weeks away and we already have more than 50,000 people signed up, eagerly awaiting the chance to test it.

Thank you to all those who have registered and to those who plan on registering. We look forward to getting your feedback. You will be helping create the final product trusted by hundreds of millions of computer users around the world.
