| Recommendation: | |||
| The Ad-aware.exe process is not an essential file to the computer system. It is a user invoked program and a normal part of PC operations. You can disable it or even remove it from the system startup list in order to save more resources and speed up the system boot. If you need to use Ad-aware program, you can launch it manually from the "Start" menu or other shortcuts. | |||

| Excellent Free spyware utility. Exposed AOL's Security Monitor as a worthless pacifier with NO ability to detect malware when after 8 months of 100% "NO Spyware Detected" results by AOL, Ad-Aware by Lavasoft found dozens of "critical" threats AND a trojan or two! I think my protection has been 99% due to router and firewall after going DSL, NOT AOL's bogus and bulky suite. | |||

| Ad-Aware is a great (freeware) program to protect your pc from adware and spyware malware. I recommend you let it start up with Windows to make sure your pc is protected at all time. More information | |||
