广告明白的2008年概要

张贴在2008年7月3日在5:32上午

我们是诚实的。如果任何类型和口径软件工具有下载的一个记录编号，从Download.com，在数百成千上万(是， 数百成千上万)，软件创作者然后做着某事。好那是谨慎的陈述。

下载手段的这个水平他们在期望从公司象微软、Symantec和其他大规模软件生产商发行的种类。

广告明白的产品线路(从 www.lavasoft.com)是一个耐久武器在与spyware的战斗。当有时其他Lavasoft节目，例如广告观看，广告明白是他们明确的重要产品。有这个节目的三主要发行，后者二，其中是有偿的版本。

巨大事关于广告明白是甚而自由版本有同一个软件引擎在它的核心。有偿的版本(加上和赞成)提供为您的计算机的另外的保护工具，并且更多自动化。单独用户将必须斟酌支付现金的选择为被升级的产品版本。

暂时，我们将集中于自由广告明白的节目。请注意自由版本的广告明白是一个手工类型扫描器和手工被更新的工具。当强有力在发现和消灭spyware时，它不应该是： A. 您的anti-spyware公共事业或仅解答和B。

考虑了一台完善的spyware扫描器。没有是完善的spyware工具，但是有广告明白作为一台备用扫描器助力您的发现spyware nasties的机会在您的计算机。

在开头广告明白，主要屏幕显示您选择为更新广告明白，赛跑直接扫瞄和登记(为有偿的版本)。你能辩明他们是否是当前在他们的定义文件和看见当他们的前spyware扫瞄跑了时。

另外，在状态菜单之内，您能选择统计选择，为了观看被找出的最后奔跑扫瞄和相当数量威胁。你可能也观看记录文件为历史套进行的行动。在这个岗位中，我有紫色屏幕快照的聚焦酒吧某一部分的*Note。紫色区域表明作用不可利用在自由版本。

在扫瞄菜单，您有选择一个特殊扫瞄方式的选择。这些方式，为自由版本，包括聪明的扫瞄和充分的扫瞄。其他anti-spyware工具有相似的作用。扫瞄之间的二个类型的区别是聪明的扫瞄看通常被传染的区域，而充分的扫瞄通过您的整个计算机过滤。是，回答明显的问题有一个明确的空白及时二个扫描方法之间的。

Underneath the Scan Mode option, in the Scan menu, there is an option named Quarantine & Ignore. In this section, you can click on the Quarantine tab to see any found spyware, or cookies, which have been collected during a scan, but not altogether eliminated. Additionally, the Ignore List shows the user a list of programs or file they marked so Ad-Aware will leave them alone during a scan.

The Web Update menu holds two choices. The first, Web Update, simply shows a verbal reiteration of why you should keep your updates current. This is when we smile and nod, as we already know the value of keeping anti-spyware up to date. Moving on then… The Settings menu has the option of giving us a metaphorical “idiot light”; akin to the oil light on a vehicle.

Only in this instance, it is in regard to the Definitions File. Keep in mind that the default setting tells Ad-Aware that after 14 days, it is outdated. I think that 4 to 5 days may be a more realistic metric. It is worth mentioning that if you use a proxy server of some type, you may enter those settings in this menu.

Unfortunately, the Tools section, under Tools & Plug-ins, is reserved for the paid versions of Ad-Aware. However, we do get a nice tool called TrackSweep. What TrackSweep does is clear out the Internet leftovers if Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera. If you do not care for the built-in cleaning in any of these three web browsers, you can use this extra utility to flush out the extra junk picked up during your Internet travels.

Once you reach the Settings menu, you will notice the many available options. Several are checked by default in the Scanning tab. The is one option I would personally recommend using, which is not in the basic setup. Scan Alternate Data Streams is very useful for finding spyware that infects via the ADS layer in Windows NTFS file system operating systems (NT 3.51, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista). This is one tab that may prompt you to experiment to see which options best suit your tastes.

Another “unfortunately” here: The free version does not include the heuristics portion of the Ad-Aware engine. Heuristics is a nice option to have as it “guesses” at strange behavior on your computer. If your definitions file does not contain a matching signature for a suspected malicious piece of active spyware, Ad-Aware could warn you of potentially harmful programs that are as yet unrecognized.

The last section I will mention is the Auto Scans tab within the Settings menu. Here you can specify to Quarantine spyware before it is completely removed from your computer. This can come in handy for analysis of items collected during a spyware sweep.

Do not get me wrong, Ad-Aware is a strong spyware scanning utility. It has a fairly high detection rate. The free version is good for getting a second opinion and to compliment your other malware tools (be they commercial licenses, or free). Do not use Ad-Aware as your only armor though. Use it in conjunction with other software.

Happy scanning!
