Adaware Antivirus Free is a free version of the software designed to protect your computer in real time against various types of viruses, Trojan horses, spyware components, rootkit or keylogger. Previously, the program was mainly known for the removal of spy components. The free version has been significantly reduced compared to the paid editions.

Adaware Antivirus Free offers a real-time protection module, which allows you to protect your computer against infections, on-demand scanning of files and disks, whose work and areas of operation can be configured to a large extent, an anti-spaware module and a mode for players. The program does not lack many other useful functions in everyday work. This includes a quarantine where infected files are placed, a schedule of tasks to automate the process of scanning the computer and a list of ignored locations that are omitted during scanning.

Commercial versions of Ad-Aware Pro offer additional features such as anti-spam module, extended firewall, protection against phishing attacks, scanning of external memory connected to the computer, etc.
