Ad-Aware SE Plus is an anti-spyware software designed to address this menace. Adding the background-running Ad-Watch real-time monitor to the free Personal edition, Ad-Aware SE Plus is now capable of not only scanning the system after the fact but also preventing infection before it happens. Ad-Watch accomplishes this by watching memory for undesirable processes, stopping modification attempts to Windows registry and system files, and preventing hostile content from taking over the browser. Furthermore, both Ad-Watch and the Ad-Aware scan engine make use of Lavasoft’s Code Sequence Identification technology, which detects also many of the unknown variants of known malicious software.

• Scan fixed and removable drives, memory and Windows registry
• Protect against aggressive adware, browser hijackers, data miners, dialers, DLL injection, keyloggers, selected Trojans, tracking cookies and many more types of malicious content
• Block registry modifications and malware installation attempts in real time
• Detect not only known but also unknown variants of malware by using the Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology
• Automatically update reference file
• Take advantage of a fully featured quarantine support
• Customize operation including setting up schedules for scan and reference file updates
• Log information about scans and malicious content removals
