Free version includes malware protection?

[Reign]

Quick question. I have been using the free version of Ad-Aware for some time and it works great. Recently I installed a product called "system mechanic" and it says my system is at risk because I don't have malware protection. I thought Ad-Ware included malware protection. Is it worth it to run a separate anti-malware program?

Thanks

Your in the wrong forum as this is the avast forum, not the Ad Aware forum

Ad aware is QUITE old when it comes to anti malware. I would suggest using Avast since it can keep up to date with the latest malware. Ad aware was good back in the early 2000s but not so much now.
