Ad-aware is a program from Lavasoft that detects and removes software on a user's computer that is determined to be spyware. It also detects dialers, trojans and other malware.

There is a proprietary free version called Ad-aware SE, and two shareware products: Ad-aware Plus and Ad-aware Professional.

Norman together with Lavasoft offers the Ad-aware Plus and Ad-aware Professional. The main difference between the freeware and the Plus / Professional is that they includes real-time scanning. Real-time scanning means that you are protected when surfing and do not have to start the scanning of spyware manually as in the freeware version.
