Plug-ins and Tools

Plug-ins are extra software options, designed to enhance and extend Ad-Aware's protection. While our free plug-ins are not necessities, they can add another layer of defense against privacy and security intrusions. They can add special capabilities (like viewing active LSP), stop potentially dangerous Windows services, and provide additional information about suspicious content.

All appropriate plug-ins from our previous Ad-Aware SE version were integrated into the new version and are now a part of the base technology for the 2007 product.

With the new web update program available for software updates, we are now able to provide direct updates to your program, eliminating the need for most plug-ins.

We will, however, continue to release tools periodically to address new and highly malicious threats that cannot be removed solely by the Ad-Aware program.
