I have been using AdAware free for years and have found it to be a fantastic malware finder it is easy to use and would love a shot at a free 1 year license key. Thank you for the chance to enter.

Installing process:
Attachment 107
- It prompts you should install chrome browser, however if you dont want, just erase ticks in check box.
Attachment 108
- At this stage, my machine is suppose to restart, but it wasn't. Surprisingly, another process ( ad-Aware update manager ) started up. It then completed in next 10 minutes. This is a little bit strange.
Attachment 109
Happy when seeing the installing process finished successfully:dance:

Some pros
- Ad-Aware's GUI is friendly as it has two mode;"simple mode" and "advanced mode" and it is easy to switching between these two by pressing 2 buttons at the bottom.
Attachment 110
- In simple mode, things become "easy-to-understand", clear descriptions for your next actions
- In advanced mode,users can customize Scan, Ad-watch,TrackSweep and toolbox via "settings" button.
- Like other security products, Ad-Aware provides three scanning methods; smart scan, full scan, and profile scan
- The full-scan is about 30 minutes ( it is faster than Bitdefender, but can't surpass Norton )
Minor cons:
- Slowing down computer startup a little but I am still happy as I won it:)
Thank you

Ad-Aware Pro is very simple to install. Installation process took maybe 3 minutes, even without rebooting computer.
After Installation Ad-Aware Pro works in Simple Mode. You can switch to Advanced at the bottom of window (there are more options)
There are 4 areas, each accessible via a button on the navigation bar (Main, Scan, Ad-Watch, Extras)
- The Main button takes you to the Main page which outlines the status of the Ad-Aware updates and definitions, gives details about the last scan, and Ad-Watch.
From this page you can also access support centre or schedule a scan
- The Scan button takes you to the page which controls how scans will be carried out. Fast Smart Scan or Slower Full Scan (Profile Scan in Advanced Mode)
- The Ad-Watch button takes you in real time protection area where you have the option of enabling or disabling protection for (processes, files, network, registry)
- The Extras button opens a screen with TrackSweep. You can erases the track left behind after surf the web. (in Advanced Mode - IE, Opera, Firefox, Chrome)
Everything is very simple, and nobody should have any problems with using the program.
It is a little heavy for the memory RAM, it takes about 100MB. But it works fine.

Thanks Avi for this giveaway :)

Thnx a ton Avinash for this giveaway. Received the key and installed/activated smoothly without a hitch. The GUI of both the Simple and Advanced modes are uncomplicated and very user friendly. The initial updates and scan were performed with good speed. as mentioned by springname its faster than BitDefender which I've used earlier. Everything looks good so far. It also has the 'Extra' Track Sweeper that automatically discovers all your installed browsers and can erase the traces of ones surfing.

Thanks Avinash for the giveaway of Ad-Aware Pro.
I failed to get last time Ad-Aware Pro from UK. This time I was so lucky to win 1 license then.
I will install Ad-Aware Pro after my current AV expired next month.
Many thanks for AvinashTech giving me this opportunity to win one of the best anti-malware software.

Hallo Dear Avi,
I had try to test this on My Windows but I found it loads slow at the first time & also when I use it. Does it happen because of I use Norton or not? Or maybe because My Windows is Vista x64? I really don't know what's the problem I had..

THX, LJBU!

Hello, I have never used this software, but according to its description it has a real-time antivirus. You shouldn't use Norton and this one at the same time because both have real-time protection, it's very possible that this is causing the slowdowns.

Also their web page says that ad-aware pro is compatible with 64-bit vista:

Supported Operating SystemsWindows 7 (32/64-bit), Windows Vista (32/64-bit), Windows XP (32-bit), Windows 2000 Pro

@asrielrusdyawan What Cosme said is true. You should not use more than 1 realtime anti-virus products on your computer. That is what is causing the slow down
