Adaware, a product of cybersecurity provider Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware), is designed to protect users from malware and privacy infringements that many users are not aware. Adaware is a suite of programs that monitor your browsing habits, programs that hijack the browser start page and applications that display annoying advertisements at the most inconvenient times. This free software comes with various features that increase your device’s security, and ensure it runs smoothly.
In our tests, adaware was able to identify the majority of the malware we put at it. However, it had trouble removing some malware, however. The program comes with a few useful extras, including a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also includes an advanced file shredder, network monitoring, and a privacy monitor. Adaware doesn’t offer as much protection as the top antivirus software.
The last time adaware took part in AV-Test lab tests, it managed to block only ninety-five. The 4% of risks that are 0-day and 97% of known threats. They’re not terrible however they don’t compare to the top security suites accomplish.
Adaware users who want better performance should look into alternatives. We recommend Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others because they are known for their reliability during real-world testing. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users get access to online technical and customer support. This can be a bit disappointing to some users. The company does provide a range of information and Frequently Asked Questions on its website, however.
