Ad-Aware SE Plus 1.02 Review

Ian Bell
By

Quote from the review:

“Ad-Aware detects previous installations and offers to uninstall them for you and follows up with a fresh install with only a few clicks needed from the user. Ad-Aware SE then offers to update your definition file, show you the newly revamped help file and launch the program, where it automatically does the first scan for you. Ad-Aware does a brilliant job of retaining the same look and feel of the Ad-Aware you are familiar with, but does so with a completely rewritten engine, updated buttons, icons and the use of fonts. The layout is also updated allowing you to break down your scan results into scan summary, critical objects, negligible objects or scan log.”

acer predator triton 500 se hands on 9

Gaming laptops are changing -- and in very good ways. They're getting thinner and smaller, all while their screens get larger, faster, and sharper. The Acer Predator Triton 500 SE is the poster child of this new wave of gaming laptops.

It picks up on a few key trends that are beginning to make headway in the world of gaming laptops that are focused on the display. It all makes for one of the most exciting new gaming laptops that I've seen in 2021 so far.
