Thanks to JOPO and Merlin Magii for informing me about the freebies that Ashampoo is currently offering.

The first Ashampoo giveaway that JOPO shared with us is a 180 days full unrestricted license for Ashampoo Anti-Malware 1.21. As for the second one which came from Merlin_Magii, (probably some of you already knew about it since it has been posted in CNET and also on many other forums) Ashampoo is giving away 5 software which os Burning Studio 2010 Advanced, Home Designer, Snap 3, WinOptimizer 6, Photo Commander 7.

Its real time protection is enabled by default and it is called “On-access scanner”. You can define at the Options whether you want to utilize both engines (anti-spyware and anti-virus) or either one. There are additional useful tools such as File Wiper to destroy files, folders or entire drives, Hosts File Checker, Startup Tuner, Rootkit Detector 2, Internet Cleaner, ADS Scanner, Process Manager and LSP Viewer. The current virus signatures is able to detect up to 4,801,229 malwares and the scan engine supports heuristic analysis to detect unknown infections. I noticed that Ashampoo Anti-Malware v1.21 can be easily terminated from Task Manager. It should at least have some kind of self-protection mechanism to avoid being terminated by viruses.
