Ad-Aware, the popular anti-spyware software that provides real-time protection against spyware, trojans, rootkits, hijackers, keyloggers, malwares etc has released its latest version as part of the 10th year anniversary celebration! Now, download Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition for free!

AdAware Anniversary Edition promise to be significantly lighter and faster than previous versions. They use 74% less memory than Ad-Aware 2008, only uses 18% of the CPU during scans (which they say is much less than competitor products like AVG, Kaspersky, Norton, and PC Tools) and scans 36 MB per second which is like 4 times faster than AVG. See more comparative performance charts.
