Produced by cybersecurity company Lavasoft (formerly commonly referred to as Ad-Aware), adaware aims to fight the various types of rogue apps and privacy invasions that many users aren’t aware of. This includes programs that path your surfing patterns, courses that alter the web page that opens your browser and apps that display annoying advertisements at the most unsettling times. This program is free and comes with several options that will increase your device’s security and ensure that it runs smoothly.
In our tests, adaware was able to identify the majority of the malware we tried to throw at it. It had trouble getting rid of some malware, however. It also comes with useful features, including a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also includes an advanced file shredder, network monitoring, and an privacy watch. It is worth noting, however, that adaware does not provide quite as much protection as the top antivirus tools in the market.
The last time adaware took part in AV-Test lab tests, it was able to block only ninety five. 4percent of threats that are 0-day and 97% of known risks. They’re not bad, but they’re not far from the top security suites.
Adaware users who are looking for improved performance should look into alternatives. We recommend Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others because they are known for their reliability during real-world testing. Some users may be disappointed that only customers of the Pro and Total plans have access to online customer and technical support. The company does offer a variety of information and Frequently Asked Questions on its website.
