23 Oct Adaware Review – Does Adaware Really Work?
Made by cybersecurity firm Lavasoft (formerly popularly known as Ad-Aware) Adaware is a security program that aims to fight the various types of malicious applications and privacy invasions that many users aren’t even aware. Adaware includes programs that track your browsing habits, courses that hijack the browser start page and apps that display annoying advertisements at the most inconvenient times. This free program offers 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 threw at it. It had difficulty removing some, however. It does come with many useful features like a privacy monitor, a registry scanner, file shredder and advanced monitoring of network. Adaware doesn’t offer the same level of protection as leading 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 risks. These aren’t bad scores but they don’t compare to the most powerful security suites accomplish.
Adaware users who are looking for improved performance should look into alternatives. We particularly recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender that are known for their reliability in real-world tests. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users have 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.
