Adaware is a product by cybersecurity company Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware) It is designed to combat the types of malware and privacy infringements of which a lot of consumers are unaware. It includes programs that alter your surfing habits, courses that block the start page of your browser and apps that display annoying advertisements at the most uncomfortable times. This free application also comes with many additional security features that will help you stay safe and ensure your device runs efficiently.
Adaware was able to detect the majority of malware that we tossed its way. However, it was unable to assist in eliminating certain malware. The program comes with several useful extras such as a privacy monitor an adaware registry scanner, file shredder, and advanced monitoring of networks. Adaware does not offer as much protection as the leading antivirus software.
Adaware’s most recent participation in AV Test lab tests resulted in the blocking of only 95. The threat rate was 4% for 0-day threats and 97% of known risks. They’re not bad but they’re not far from the top security suites.
Adaware users looking for better performance should look into alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others because they are known for their reliability in real-world testing. Some users may be disappointed that only users of the Pro and Total plans have access to online technical and customer support. On its website, the company offers numerous information and frequently asked questions.
