Made by cybersecurity firm Lavasoft (formerly also known as Ad-Aware), adaware aims to stop the types of rogue apps and privacy threats that a majority of users aren’t aware of. This includes programs that reroute your surfing patterns, courses that alter your browser’s start page and applications that display annoying ads at the most inconvenient times. This free application comes with several features that can increase your device’s security and ensure it runs smoothly.
In our tests, adaware was able to recognize the majority of the malware we threw at it. However, it had a difficult time removing certain malware. The program comes with a few useful features, including privacy monitors and a registry scanner. It also comes with a file shredder, advanced network monitoring, and an privacy watch. It is worth noting, however, that adaware can’t provide quite as much protection as the top antivirus tools in the market.
Adaware’s most recent participation in AV Test lab tests resulted in the blocking of only 95. The threat rate was 4% for 0-day threats and 97% of known risks. These aren’t bad scores but they’re far from being far from the top security suites.
Adaware users seeking better performance should consider alternatives. We recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender both of which are well-known for their reliability in real-world tests. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users receive access to online technical www.programworld.org/zemana-antimalware-review and customer support, which may be a bit disappointing for some users. The company does provide various information and Frequently Asked Questions on its website, however.
