Video Tutorials for Ad-AwareYou may have noticed that we posted some instruction videos for Ad-Aware a while ago. If you haven't watched them already, I highly recommend it - Patrick's done a great job with these with lots of useful information, especially in the later installments.

  While we are on the subject of Internet video, Mjukvara.se has published a couple of nice video reviews for Ad-Aware and Lavasoft Personal Firewall in Swedish. So if you speak the language of vikings, check out the videos - they're quite well made.

The team at Lavasoft are very happy to announce the launch of our new German website. Back in 1999 Lavasoft begun in Germany, therefore the company has a strong German heritage which makes this an important milstone in our companys history. As we move towards 10 years of Lavasoft, it is great to launch our website translated into the German language to honor our German roots.


Italian, Dutch and Ad-AwareAd-Aware continues to travel the world and has now picked up enough of Dutch and Italian to be able to communicate with its users in these languages! They are both included in the latest software update.

In other news, Ad-Aware's traveling partner - the Lavasoft Website - now also speaks Nederlands and Italiano so be sure to check them out through the language selector at the top of the page.


Weekend Reading

by Mattias on August 24th, 2007 in Security Tips, Website News.

A herder rounding up some terrified computersOver the last weeks, we have quietly expanded our Spyware Education Center with several nice and short articles about some current computer security threats. So why not spend a few spare minutes during your weekend and become (even more) educated?


Just a quick update for our Firewall customers:

We have added the updated PDF manual for Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2.0 to the Support Center now so get your copy while supplies last (excuse the e-distribution humor).

Nice work Tobias, it looks great!
