Adaware Review – Does Adaware Really Work?

Manufactured by cybersecurity provider Lavasoft (formerly often known as Ad-Aware) Adaware’s goal is to tackle the types of rogue applications and privacy threats that a majority of users aren’t even aware. Adaware consists of programs that panda antivirus track your browsing habits, applications that reroute the browser start page and apps that display annoying advertisements at the most inconvenient times. This free program offers several features that will boost your device’s security and ensure that it runs smoothly.

Adaware identified the majority of malware we tossed at it. However, it had trouble removing some, however. The program does have many useful features such as a privacy monitor a registry scanner, a file shredder, and advanced monitoring of networks. It is worth noting, however, that adaware does not offer the same level of protection as some of industry’s leading antivirus tools.

Adaware’s most recent participation in AV Test tests in the lab resulted in the blocking of only 95. 4.4% of threats that are not a day old and 97% of known threats. These aren’t awful scores but they don’t come close to what the most effective security suites can accomplish.

Adaware users who are looking for improved performance should look into alternatives. We would recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender, which are renowned for their reliable performance in real-world tests. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users get access to online technical and customer support, which can be a bit disappointing for some users. On its website, the company provides a variety information and frequently asked questions.
