Ad-Aware Free Antivirus

Ad-Aware Free Antivirus

Updated July 2014

Lavasoft has been in the antivirus business for a while (since 1999), mainly providing premium products. However, they also have a free antivirus program called Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+.
Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ is really easy to use, light on resources, and supports detailed custom scanning.
Important: Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ provides free on-access or resident protection, meaning it's always running in the background to monitor files. This means Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ can completely replace any premium or professional antivirus software that you might be paying for, like products form McAfee and Norton. While those programs might include tools you won't find in free software, Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ can still provide the virus protection you need at no cost.
