26 Aug Adaware Review – Does Ad-Aware Really Work?

Adware is a kind of malware that can be installed on your computer without knowing. It can then monitor your computer to see what you are searching for and display relevant advertisements. This could lead to a large number of unwanted ads that can be extremely distracting and slow down your computer. It can also pose serious health, privacy and security risks. Adware is a tool that can obtain data from you and then sell it to marketers.

Lavasoft, the company behind Adaware, has been working on antivirus software for a long time and is a legitimate business. The program is simple to install and doesn’t need you to uninstall your existing antivirus. After installation, you are able to conduct a quick, thorough, or custom scan and update the software on the main dashboard.

There are three plans to choose from with adaware, including free, Pro and Total. The free version includes real-time protection and download protection, but not the ad blocker. The Pro version provides unlimited tech support, email and web security, and a robust fire wall. It also comes with an electronic lock, a parental control, and a file shredder.

In AV-Comparatives’ Real-World Protection Tests, Adware managed to block 95.4% of malware samples but only 97% of malware samples in the zero-day tests for detection. These results may appear to be good, but they are not as impressive when compared to the top brands in the market. If you’re interested in purchasing this antivirus, there is a 30-day money-back assurance for that site both the Pro and Total versions.
