Adaware Review – Does Ad-Aware Really Work?
Adware is a type of malware that can be installed on your computer without knowing. It will then track your computer to discover what you are looking for and display relevant advertising. This can result in a huge amount of unwanted advertisements which can be extremely distracting, and slow down your PC. It also poses serious health, privacy and security risks. Adware is a tool that can collect data from you and then sell it to marketers.
Lavasoft the company behind Adaware, has been creating antivirus software for years and is a legitimate business. The program has a straightforward installation and doesn’t require you delete your current antivirus. Once the program is installed, you can run a speedy custom or full scan from the main dashboard and perform the necessary updates to your product.
Adaware offers three plans which include Pro, free, and Total. The free version includes real-time protection, download security but does not include an ad blocker. The Pro version comes with unlimited tech assistance, web and email security, as well as a strong fire wall. It also adds a file shredder, digital lock and parental controls.
In AV-Comparatives’ Real-World Security Tests, Ad-aware managed to block 95.4% of malware-related samples, but only 97% in zero-day detection tests. The results might appear good, but they are not impressive when compared with the leaders in the industry. Both the Pro and Total versions of this antivirus are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
