Adaware, a product of cybersecurity firm Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware) It is designed to stop the kinds of malicious apps and privacy invasions that many users are not aware. This includes programs that path your browsing patterns, courses that alter the web page that opens your browser and applications that display annoying advertisements at the most uncomfortable times. This free program also offers numerous additional features to boost security and keep your device running smoothly.
In our tests, adaware was able to recognize the majority of the malware we tossed at it. However, it had trouble removing some, however. It also comes with useful extras, such as a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also comes with a file shredder, advanced monitoring of networks, and the privacy watch. Adaware doesn’t provide the same level of protection as top antivirus software.
Adaware’s most recent participation in AV Test lab tests resulted in a blockage of only 95. 4% of 0-day threats and 97% of known risks. These aren’t bad scores, but they certainly don’t compare to the most powerful security suites accomplish.
People who want adsware to perform better, should look at the alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others because they are known for their reliability during real-world testing. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users receive access to online technical and customer support, which may be a bit disappointing to some users. On its website, the company offers numerous information and frequently asked questions.
