New Features and Highlights

Ad-Aware now includes the following new privacy and security features:

* NEW! E-mail Scanner - Keeps you safe from malicious
attachments and images in your e-mail.
* NEW! Ad-Watch Live! Files - Blocks malicious files from
entering your system, and alerts you to malicious files already on your
PC
* NEW! Rootkit Removal System - Deep level rootkit technology that uncovers and destroys hidden threats, detecting both user-mode and kernel-mode attack techniques.

Additionally, by focusing on core consumer needs, Ad-Aware provides advanced threat protection and is lighter and fast than previous versions - and that of many competitor products. Research shows that:

* AVG takes more than 7 times longer to perform a scan than
Ad-Aware.
* Ad-Aware uses 33% less memory during a scan than Microsoft
Security Essentials.
