Adaware Review – Does Adaware Really Work?

Produced by cybersecurity company Lavasoft (formerly also known as Ad-Aware) Adaware’s goal is to combat the kinds of malicious applications and privacy invasions that many consumers aren’t even aware of. This includes programs that track your browsing habits, courses that hijack the start page of your browser and applications that display irritating advertising at the most uncomfortable times. This free application comes with various features that can increase your device’s security and ensure it runs smoothly.

Adaware identified the majority of malware that we tossed at it. It did have trouble removing some, however. The program includes a few useful extras, like privacy monitors and a registry scanner. It also comes with an advanced file shredder, monitoring of networks, and the privacy watch. It’s important to note, however, that adaware does not offer as much protection as some of the top antivirus tools in the industry.

Adaware’s last participation in AV Test tests in the lab resulted in a blockage of just 95. 4% of 0-day threats and 97% of known threats. These aren’t terrible scores but they’re not anywhere avast near the top security suites.

Anyone who wants adware to work better, should consider alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky and Bitdefender both of which are well-known for their reliable performance in real-world tests. Also, only Pro and Total plan users have access to online technical and customer support, which can be a little disappointing for certain users. On its website, the company has numerous information and frequently asked questions.
