Made by cybersecurity firm Lavasoft (formerly commonly referred to as Ad-Aware) Adaware’s mission is to fight the various types of rogue apps and privacy infringements that a lot of users aren’t aware of. Adaware is a collection of programs that track your browsing habits, programs that hijack the browser start page and applications that display annoying advertisements at the worst times. This free program offers various features that can increase your device’s security and ensure that it runs smoothly.

Adaware recognized the majority of malware that we tossed at it. It had difficulty removing some malware, however. It also comes with useful extras, including privacy monitors and a registry scanner. It also includes a file shredder, advanced monitoring of networks, and an privacy watch. Adaware doesn’t offer as much protection as the top antivirus software.

Adaware’s last participation in AV Test lab tests resulted in the blocking of just 95. 4% of 0-day threats and 97% of known threats. These aren’t bad scores, but they’re not close to the best security suites.

Adaware users who want better performance should look into alternatives. We suggest Kaspersky, Bitdefender and others because they are known for their reliability in real-world tests. Also only Pro and Total plan users receive access to online technical and customer support, which may be a little disappointing for some users. The company does provide numerous information and frequently asked questions on its website.
