Adaware Review – Does Adaware Really Work?

Adaware, a product of cybersecurity firm Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware) It was created to fight the various types of rogue apps and privacy invasions of which the majority of users are not aware. It includes programs that alter your browsing habits, programs that hijack the start page of your browser and applications that show annoying advertisements at the most uncomfortable times. This program is free and comes with various features that will boost your device’s security, and ensure it runs smoothly.

In our tests, adaware was able to identify the majority of the malware we tried to throw at it. However, it had trouble eliminating certain malware. The program comes with a few useful extras, including a privacy monitor and registry scanner. It also includes an advanced file shredder, monitoring of networks, and a privacy monitor. It’s worth noting however, that adaware does not offer as much protection as some of most popular antivirus programs in the market.

The last time adaware participated in the AV-Test lab tests, it managed to block only ninety-five. The threat rate was 4% for 0-day threats and 97% of known threats. These aren’t terrible scores however they do not compare to the most powerful security suites accomplish.

Adaware users seeking better performance should consider alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky and Bitdefender that are known for their reliability and performance in real-world tests. Some users may be disappointed that only customers of the Pro and Total plans have access to online customer and technical support. On its website, the company provides various information and frequently asked questions.
