When it comes to Malicious Software (Malware) different terms such as adware, spyware, malware, etc are given based on what action each takes. Each of these unwanted pieces of software do different things, but the bottom line is you do not want any of it on your PC.
当涉及恶意软件(Malware)时，会根据各自采取的措施给出不同的术语，例如广告软件，间谍软件，恶意软件等。 这些不需要的软件都可以执行不同的操作，但最重要的是您不希望在PC上使用任何软件。
Here are easy to understand definitions which should help you better understand what is meant when you hear these terms.

This week begins our series on free Anti-Malicious Software Programs. As no single Anti-Spyware utility is perfect, we will look at the major ones. At the end of this series we will look at all of the Anti-Virus applications we covered previously and the Anti-Spyware applications in this series and will recommend what we believe to be the best combination(s).
本周开始我们的免费反恶意软件程序系列 。 由于没有任何一个反间谍软件实用程序是完美的，因此我们将重点介绍主要的反间谍软件。 在本系列的最后，我们将介绍我们先前介绍的所有防病毒应用程序和本系列中的反间谍软件应用程序，并推荐我们认为是最佳组合的应用程序。
First let’s take a look at Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware 2008 which is free for use for home users.
首先，让我们看一下Lavasoft的Ad-Aware 2008，该软件可供家庭用户免费使用。
During installation your will get the following screen to enter in your license if you bought one, otherwise we just need to click the “Use Free” button.
在安装过程中，如果您购买了许可证，您将获得以下屏幕以输入许可证，否则，我们只需要单击“免费使用”按钮即可。
Before installation is totally complete Ad-Aware will update its database with the latest definitions.
在完全完成安装之前，Ad-Aware将使用最新定义更新其数据库。
After a successful installation you will notice two shortcuts on the desktop one of which is Ad-Watch which is a real-time adware protection utility. It is not available in the free version which a message indicates. This is obviously a marketing attempt to get your to buy the Plus and Pro version which I consider adware in and of itself.
成功安装后，您会在桌面上注意到两个快捷方式，其中之一是Ad-Watch ，它是一种实时广告软件保护实用程序。 消息指示的免费版本中不提供此功能。 显然，这是一种营销尝试，目的是让您购买Plus和Pro版本，我认为它们本身就是广告软件。
*Note … you can get a free version of Ad-Aware Plus by using a gimmicky offer that I do not endorse. Basically you are signing up for other company trial services and SPAM for a free year of Plus or Pro and that ends after the year. You can choose two different scan modes. Smart Scan which scans the most critical parts of your system or Full Scan which will scan everything and as a result takes longer. For heavily infected computers Full Scan is a wise choice. To be able to utilize the Custom Scan you will need to upgrade to the Plus or Pro version.
*注意：您可以使用 我不认可 的 花哨优惠 来获得Ad-Aware Plus的免费版本 。 基本上，您要注册免费的Plus或Pro一年的其他公司试用服务和SPAM，并且在该年之后结束。 您可以选择两种不同的扫描模式。 云安全扫描可扫描系统最关键的部分，而全扫描则可扫描所有内容，因此需要更长的时间。 对于感染严重的计算机，“全扫描”是一个明智的选择。 为了能够使用自定义扫描，您将需要升级到Plus或Pro版本。
After you start the scan to you will will be able to view the progress and what if any objects have been identified.
开始扫描后，您将可以查看进度以及是否已识别任何对象。
When scanning is complete you choose which objects to remove, the ability to set a Restore Point before removing entries, and a scan summary which you can export to a text document.
Ad-Aware has different settings we can change. One feature to look at is the TrackSweep tool. This allows you to erase tracks left behind from surfing the Internet. In fact, it will erase tracks from all three of the major web browsers.
广告感知具有不同的设置，我们可以更改。 要查看的一项功能是TrackSweep工具。 这使您可以删除上 冲浪后留下的曲目。 实际上，它将删除所有三种主要Web浏览器中的曲目。
Other settings can be changed with scanning, AutoScans, User Interface (change skins), and Log Files not all options are available unless you upgrade.
可以通过扫描，自动扫描，用户界面(更改外观)和日志文件来更改其他设置，除非升级，否则并非所有选项都可用。
Conclusion
结论
There are definitely a lot of differing opinions when it comes to what is “the best” anti-spyware program. No utility is going to be 100% effective but they all are pretty solid. Soon we will have great side by side scanning comparisons and a rating system so you can make more informed decisions.
关于什么是“最佳”反间谍程序，肯定会有很多不同的意见。 没有任何一种效用会100％有效，但是它们都非常可靠。 很快，我们将拥有出色的并排扫描比较和评级系统，因此您可以做出更明智的决定。
Overall Ad-Aware is a solid choice for identifying threats and getting rid of them. A few years ago Ad-Aware was definitely an essential weapon to have in a security best practices arsenal. However, today there are a lot of other free utilities that can do the job and offer more functionality that Lavasoft now charges for.
总体而言，Ad-Aware是识别威胁并消除威胁的可靠选择。 几年前，Ad-Aware绝对是拥有最佳安全实践武器库的必不可少的武器。 但是，今天还有许多其他免费实用程序可以完成这项工作，并提供Lavasoft现在收费的更多功能。
Another thing to keep in mind is if you use both Ad-Aware and another anti-spyware utility it can cause conflicts. Take Ad-Aware Free Edition for a spin for a week or so and see how it fares. It may be the utility your looking for.
要记住的另一件事是，如果同时使用Ad-Aware和另一个反间谍软件实用程序，则可能导致冲突。 免费试用Ad-Aware Free Edition一周左右，然后看看效果如何。 它可能是您想要的实用程序。
