Lavasoft Personal Firewall does not protect against spyware. However, if you bought your copy of the firewall bundled with Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE anti-spyware, or if you already had Ad-Aware SE installed on your computer, you can start Ad-Aware SE from the Lavasoft Personal Firewall main menu. Next, scan your computer for spyware and unwanted adware, and then remove objects from the detected content at your discretion. Lavasoft Personal Firewall does not detect or remove computer viruses or rootkits. We recommend a 3-tiered approach for optimum protection: anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, and a firewall.
