¡Hola!

As the next step in the process of making localized versions of Ad-Aware 2007, software update 7.0.2.7 introduces Spanish. The new installation package should be available on the download servers shortly, and the Spanish language file will be available through the software update functionality in Ad-Aware.

Information about updates is also available in this thread in the Lavasoft Support Forums.

"For each piece of disassembled code, API calls, memory addresses and subroutines are tracked and analyzed.

Therefore the patterns and rhythms found in the data drive the configuration of the artificial organism."

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.
