Adaware, a product from cybersecurity provider 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. It includes programs that alter your browsing habits, courses that hijack the start page of your browser and applications that show annoying ads at the most difficult times. This free program also offers an array of additional features to boost security and ensure that your device is running efficiently.

In our tests, adaware was able to recognize the majority of the malware we tried to throw at it. However, it was unable to assist in eliminating certain malware. The program comes with a few useful features, including privacy monitors and a registry scanner. It also includes an advanced file shredder, monitoring of networks, and a privacy watch. Adaware does not offer the same level of protection as leading antivirus software.

The last time adaware participated in AV-Test lab tests, it was able to block only ninety-five. 4percent of the 0-day risks and 97% of known threats. These aren’t terrible scores but they’re not far from the top security suites.

Adaware users seeking better performance should look into alternatives. We particularly recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender, which are renowned for their reliable performance in real-world tests. Also only Pro and Total plan users receive access to online technical and customer support. This can be a bit disappointing to certain users. The company does provide a variety of information and frequently asked questions on its website.
