Complementing its proprietary anti-spyware technolody with one of the best antivirus engines available today (Bitdefender), Ad-Aware 11 features a packed, lean and powerful anti-malware solution, without the conflicts or slow-downs typically associated with running multiple security programs.
Our extensive in-house tests have revealed that even our free product, Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+, easily bested some of the most complete security suites from our competitors. This testing revealed that Ad-Aware will closely match Bitdefender's impressive test results in independant lab tests. With such a powerful engine at its core Ad-Aware 11 will provide serious protection against even the most advanced threats.
Ad-Aware significantly outperforms our free peers
Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ scored extremely well in both real-time tests (against freshest malware) and in on-demand scans (40,000+ samples).
And totally eclipses pure anti-spyware scanners
We then decided to see how Ad-Aware stands when compared with the two most popular on-demand anti-malware solutions (no real-time protection abilities). The results were impressive:
It's clear that typical anti-spyware programs just don't offer any additional protection anymore...
• Both Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware score much lower than any of the top 3 antivirus on on-demand (scan) protection.
• Malwarebytes detected 52 samples that Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ didn't but failed to detect well over 14,000 samples that Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ successfullty detected.
• SuperAntiSpyware failed to detect more than 16,000 samples that Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ successfully detected.
