It is manufactured by cybersecurity provider Lavasoft (formerly also known as Ad-Aware), adaware aims to combat the kinds of rogue apps and privacy invasions that most users aren’t aware of. Adaware consists of programs that track your browsing habits, applications that reroute the browser start page and apps that display annoying ads at the most inappropriate times. This free application also comes with a host of additional features to boost security and ensure that your device is running efficiently.
In our tests, adaware was able to identify the majority of the malware we tried to throw at it. However, it had trouble removing some, however. The program has a few useful extras, like a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also comes with a file shredder, advanced network monitoring, and the privacy watch. It’s important to note, however, that Adaware doesn’t offer the same level of protection as the top antivirus tools www.programworld.org/windows-defender-review in the industry.
Adaware’s participation in the AV Test lab tests resulted in the blocking of only 95. 4percent of threats that are 0-day and 97% of known risks. These aren’t bad numbers but they’re not near the top security suites.
Adaware users seeking better performance should consider alternatives. We would recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender that are known for their reliable performance in real-world tests. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users receive access to online technical and customer support. This can be a little disappointing for some users. On its website, the company has many information as well as frequently asked questions.
