Adaware Review – Does Ad-Aware Really Work?

Adware is a type of malware that can be downloaded onto your computer without you knowing. It can then spy on your activities to discover the things you search for, and display ads related to those searches. This can lead to an abundance of unwelcome ads that could be very distracting and slow down your computer. It could also pose serious privacy, health and security threats. Adware is also able to steal your personal information and sell it to advertisers.

The company behind Adaware is Lavasoft that has been around for decades and develops legitimate antivirus software solutions. The program is easy to install and does not need you to uninstall your current antivirus. Once installed, you’ll be able to perform a quick, full, or custom scan and then update the product from the main dashboard.

There are three plans offered with adaware: free, Pro and Total. The free plan includes real-time protection, download protection however it does not include the www.programworld.org/ ad blocker. The Pro version is more extensive and includes unlimited technical support, email and web protection as well as a strong firewall. It also comes with an electronic lock, a parental control and file shredder.

Ad-aware could block 95.4 percent in AV-Comparatives’ Real-World tests for protection but only 97% of zero-day test samples. The results might appear good however they’re not that impressive when compared to the top brands in the market. If you’re interested in purchasing this antivirus, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee for both the Pro and Total versions.
