Ad-Aware Free Internet Security now includes anti-virus: complete malware protection that now combines Lavasoft's pioneer technology for anti-spyware with traditional anti-virus protection.

With the addition of anti-virus, Ad-Aware Free is not be just a complimentary security tool - it can be used as a complete malware solution to protect your system from spyware and viruses (as well as rootkits, blended malware, and other online security threats.)

You have the option to "turn off" the anti-virus detection if necessary

There is always a chance of compatibility issues when running concurrent security software. It is not recommended that you run more than one anti-virus product on a computer at the same time.
