Adaware, a product from cybersecurity company Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware) is designed to fight the various types of malicious apps and privacy invasions of which the majority of users are unaware. This includes programs that reroute your surfing habits, courses that hijack your browser’s start page and applications that show annoying ads at the check most unsettling times. This program is free and comes with several features that will boost your device’s security and ensure that it runs smoothly.
Adaware detected most of the malware we tossed its way. However, it had trouble getting rid of some malware. It does come with many useful features such as a privacy monitor a registry scanner, file shredder, and advanced monitoring of networks. Adaware isn’t as much protection as the most popular antivirus software.
Adaware’s participation in the AV Test lab tests resulted in a blockage of just 95. 4percent of the 0-day risks and 97% of known risks. These aren’t bad scores but they do not compare to the most effective security suites can accomplish.
Users who want adaware to perform better, should look at the alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky and Bitdefender that are known for their reliability and performance in real-world tests. Some users might be disappointed to find that only users of the Pro and Total plans have access to online technical and customer support. On its website, the company provides various information and frequently asked questions.
