"Fast, Solid detection and best version yet."
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379
Pros
Quick scan is just super fast.
Fast loading, Light on resources, catches cookies, simple to use, nice browser add-on that blocks sites & much bad advertising while you browse.Cons
Full scan takes long.
Wants you to activate to keep the free.
Wants to change your default web search, though easy to switch back.Summary
Overall it's the lightest combo A/V + antispyware. Detection is solid. Makes you feel you are protected. The avast & AVG's of this world should stop and learn - we don't want bloatware - thanks lavasoft.

So fast,I don't know what they done to the program but it feels so much faster now. Computer works like a charm after I installed the program.
Cons
No complaints , no nothing!
Summary
Fast and very effective scanning engine. I have used other anti virus software and Ad-Aware was introduced to me late in 2009. I will never e-mail, facebook or playing without this program. A nice product. First full scan took me 5 hours, but the second full one awss like a charm. Very fast!

"Annoying Popups"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379
Pros
The program's functions are solid.
Cons
Every time a little cookie or whatever is discovered, a CREEPING POPUP appears, informing me of my computer's near death experience. I have to aim really well with the mouse, or just wait 5 seconds, to close them. The high frequency of these popups makes them utterly intolerable. I also question the severity of these discoveries; no matter what Adaware finds, it's always a MAJOR THREAT.
Summary
I am uninstalling this annoying program.

Pros
Fast and very effective scanning engine. I have used other anti virus software and Ad-Aware was introduced to me late in 2011. I will never e-mail, surfing or playing without this program. A nice product.

Spyware sucks and you can use this great program to find and eliminate it. Efficient and not heavy at all on my system, superior quality and the customer service is more then professional!

"I am using the free Ad-Aware and yes, I am satisfied!"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379

"Good, effective!"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379
Pros
Another computer in the family was having some terrible issues with speed and performance, and this tool took care of it all . A good alternative, in my opinion, to all free products.
Cons
Nothing, no cons.
Summary
After having a try on this I decide: this program is in between the best antivirus and anti spyware programs. I'm not saying the best but still. Surfing on internet now seems to be safely with it. The computer memory it is not at all affected by this program. I like to say also, Ad-aware does everything that high cost anti-virus programs do. Ad-Aware starts to protect my machine quite well at no cost.

"I "wrapped`" my lap in protection!"
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379
Pros
Keeps you informed of malicious websytes. Good small software and it has found several viruses that I didn't now I had. Once a week I start the program for a deep scan.
Cons
I had problems with Blekko but now I know how to get ready of it.
Summary
All my problems were fixed after I installed this software. Cleaned my computer, all bad stuff, and now the machine runs like a new one. A good program, but not speechless, basic protection, it certainly does what it says on description, has a lot of safety features.

"Customer service - Good."
Version: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus + 10.5.2.4379
Pros
The program it's good but what I want to say today is about the customer service of Lavasoft.After installation, I got the BSOD, and of course, like many people in this world I started to blame the last software installed.I called them and they gave me a real support to resolve my computer trouble. On Facebook I found another good forum. Contact them if problems and you'll see!
Cons
None for me.
Summary
Ad-Aware is no doubt a good program with a couple of nice features.
