Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition 8.0

Building on 10 years of advanced malware detection, Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition provides comprehensive malware protection without loading down your system’s resources, bringing you the core competence you need to stay safe online.

Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition is significantly lighter and faster than our own previous versions, as well as many of our top competitors. According to our extensive research, Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition:
QUOTE

Scans 36 MB per second – faster than each competitor product tested, and over 4 times faster than AVG’s.
