How to Reinstall Ad-Aware

Ad-Aware is a security package for your computer that can, depending on your edition, offer antivirus and anti-spyware protection, a firewall, backup software, and real-time protection. If you have uninstalled the software or the program has become corrupt then you may wish to reinstall it to your computer. If you have a paid version of Ad-Aware then make sure you find your product registration key before reinstallation.
