In terms of Internet security, Ad-Aware by Lavasoft is a must to erase any traces of spyware on the machine. Yesterday, the Swedish publisher unveiled its anti-virus.
Called Helix, the software offers protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware as well as advanced technology to uninstall the rookits. Like a software virus traditional threat is detected when it is put into quarantine for a removal later. Helix can also scan emails (POP and SMTP), the IM clients or the content of websites, a new threat affecting between 2.5% and 4% of all web pages. Moreover, with Helix, Lavasoft promises an optimized scan machine that uses little system resources.
Jason King, CEO of Lavasoft said: "The first objective of Lavasoft is and will always protect the privacy of its users through high-quality solutions [...] For years, our customers are asking us protection against viruses. We recently answered this call by integrating our anti-virus software in the flagship anti-spyware, Ad-Aware. For those who want a single security tool rather than a full suite, we therefore provide a solution anti-virus application.
