Attention Ad-Aware users: we have news for you! We’re going to be rolling out two exciting new changes in the upcoming July Ad-Aware release –

Anti-virus is soon to be included in Ad-Aware Free

An all-new Ad-Aware product is on the way

That’s right - our freeware will expand to include anti-virus protection in addition to anti-spyware and anti-rootkit, AND we are going to introduce a new, full-featured product, called Ad-Aware Total Security, with everything but the kitchen sink!

Ad-Aware Free Internet Security includes a powerful real time malware and rootkit detection engine, heuristic scanner, Internet Explorer Guard, email scanner, support for external drive scanning (iPod, USB drives etc) and the new anti-virus scanner and the missing scheduler.

The website is yet to update to reflect these changes, but the installer is available for download from Download.com.
