Lavasoft announces the launch of Ad-Aware SE
- a new generation of Anti Spyware solution
Lavasoft currently distributes its anti Spyware application Ad-Aware to over 80 million home and corporate users worldwide including 3000 partners in over 120 countries.
Lavasoft started distributing Ad-Aware in 1999. 1825 days have passed since Lavasoft released its first anti Spyware application which has precipitated a wave of liberation that our users and customers have, and continue to, enjoy.
Ad-Aware has since been developed into a state of the art application that can keep pace with the increasingly sophisticated threats we face.
In the ensuing debate, users welcomed the advances made by Lavasoft during the past years in their further development of Ad-Aware. The stark and disturbing evidence has only shown us to well how system owners are suffering because of intrusive Spyware, with too many instances of users being subjected to extreme content and denied the control over their own systems or networks.
Lavasoft has supported the privacy community from the very beginning and will continue to lead the way in taking the steps necessary to keep PCs and workstations safe and secure.
There is a category of Ad-Aware users that will always demand even more performance. We share their passion, so we created Ad-Aware SE, an innovative new approach – The New Generation.
Lavasoft, with its Ad-Aware technology, is widely known for delivering comprehensive and secure performance. Together with several newly developed techniques and our newly developed scanning technology Ad-Aware SE delivers heretofore unseen performance on both PCs and workstations. Just like in the past, where Lavasoft was one of the first to offer a comprehensive anti Spyware solution, we're proud to be the first again to offer a new generation, ground-breaking anti Spyware solution.
We would like to expand further on that statement and have therefore highlighted the key areas we have worked on during the past year to again further improve and ensure the protection of end-user desktops all the way up to the corporate and enterprise environment.
With Ad-Aware SE we show how to achieve modern, comprehensive anti Spyware protection.
