It is manufactured by cybersecurity provider Lavasoft (formerly commonly referred to as Ad-Aware) Adaware’s mission is to tackle the types of rogue programs and privacy threats that a majority of users aren’t aware of. Adaware includes programs that track your browsing habits, programs that hijack the start page of your browser, and applications that show annoying advertising at the worst times. The program is free and comes with many additional features to boost security and keep your device working smoothly.
In our tests, adaware was able to detect most of the malware we tossed at it. However, it was unable to assist in getting rid of some malware. The program comes with a few useful features, including a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also comes with a file shredder, advanced monitoring of networks, and an privacy watch. Adaware does not offer as much protection as the most popular antivirus software.
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 terrible scores but they’re not far from the top security suites.
People who want adsware to work better, should consider the alternatives. We would recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender both of which are well-known for their reliability and performance in real-world tests. Some users may be disappointed that only users of the Pro and Total plans have access to online customer and technical support. On its website, the business provides a variety information and frequently asked questions.
