We've received word that Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox was chosen as an Editors Choice product by Military Embedded Systems magazine for its September/October 2007 issue.
Thanks, OpenSystems Publishing!
The memory usage of the Service component of Ad-Aware 2007 has caused much debate, especially among the freeware users, who do not have access to the scheduling or real-time features. The service architecture is necessary as we begin to address emerging forms of malware and you can read more about this in the thread Regarding the Service on the Lavasoft Support Forums.
Something to keep in mind - Lavasoft is so very aware of what directly affects our customers - you do a great job keeping us informed of what is happening in your computing lives. We'll soon be addressing one of the major e-mail annoyances and will release a new spam filter to help you combat the barrage of spam that must be invading your e-mail inbox on a daily basis now.
Take a moment and look at your screen. If it has got a post-it with a password on it sticking out from the side, this guide might be for you.
Earlier this week, we released the brand new Lavasoft Digital Lock - File Encryptor, which enables you to manage, protect and encrypt your sensitive information through a user-friendly interface. However, it can also help you manage and protect not only your sensitive information but also your sensitive passwords and still have them easily accessible whenever you need them.
"More security products from Lavasoft!" is what you've said, and we are ready to deliver, starting the run with an ecryptor, a file shredder, and a convenient toolbox that combines both tools.
Be the first to have a look at our three new products when we launch today at 12 noon (Central European Time): Lavasoft Digital Lock - File Encryptor, Lavasoft File Shredder, and the Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox.
If you've made the switch to Windows Vista, your favorite anti-spyware is now compatible to make sure you are protected against the latest security threats that will inevitably sneak into your computer...and into your life!
If you are an existing customer, simply open your existing Ad-Aware 2007 program and click on the 'Web Update' button in the menu to automatically update to the Vista-compatible version.
Since we released the new 2007 version of Ad-Aware in June, we are frequently asked why the new product was built as a service. So, we thought we'd take a few minutes here for a quick education on the service, and why it is important to combat the compexities of today's malware.
So, we understand that it may be new for you, but we want you to understand that we are making sure that the new Ad-Aware engine is position to handle the worst the worst as we move forward. I hope this information has been helpful.
The Ad-Aware 2007 Architecture
Just a quick update for our Firewall customers:
We have added the updated PDF manual for Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2.0 to the Support Center now so get your copy while supplies last (excuse the e-distribution humor).
Nice work Tobias, it looks great!
What can we say - they're going nuts for our software!
Ad-Aware 2007 Free has been chosen by the team at FreeFunFiles as their Editors Pick for the month of August.
Thanks for the kudos, FreeFunFiles!
In the August issue of Lavasoft News, part of our focus is how we can all do our part to make sure that the technology-centered world we live in leaves a less harmful impact on our surroundings. Lavasoft has recently teamed up with an eco-friendly company, GreenPrint. GreenPrint software automatically eliminates wasteful pages in printouts, saving time and money, but also saving trees.
Some of you may have noticed that in the Ad-Aware 2007 update that was released before the weekend, the Ad-Watch real-time module was activated in your freeware.
This has since been updated, but we hope you enjoyed your free preview of Ad-Watch ;)
Remember, if you want real-time protection in your anti-spyware software, you will find real-time scanning and many more advanced features in the Ad-Aware 2007 Plus and Pro versions!
