22 Oct Adaware Review – Does Adaware Really Work?
Adaware, a product of cybersecurity company Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware), is designed to combat the types of malware and privacy infringements of which a lot of consumers are unaware. Adaware is a suite of programs that monitor your browsing habits, courses that hijack the browser start page and apps that display irritating advertisements at the most inconvenient times. This free application also comes with many extra features to increase security and keep your device working smoothly.
Adaware identified the majority of malware that we tossed at it. It had difficulty removing some malware, however. The program does have many useful features like a privacy monitor, a registry scanner, file shredder, and advanced monitoring of networks. Adaware doesn’t provide the same level of protection as top antivirus software.
The last time adaware participated in the AV-Test lab tests, it was able to block only ninety-five. 4% of 0-day threats and 97% of known risks. They’re not bad, but they’re not near the top security suites.
Adware users who want to perform better, should look at alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others due to their reliability and effectiveness in real-world testing. Some users might 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.
