Adaware, a product of cybersecurity company Lavasoft, (formerly known as Ad-Aware) It was created to protect users from rogue apps and privacy invasions that many users are unaware. It www.programworld.org/malwarebytes-review-2020 includes programs that alter your browsing habits, programs that hijack the start page of your browser and applications that display irritating advertising at the most difficult times. This free application comes with various features that increase your device’s security and ensure that 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 removing certain malware. The program comes with several useful extras such as a privacy watcher, an adaware registry scanner, file shredder and advanced monitoring of network. Adaware doesn’t offer the same level of protection as best antivirus software.

Adaware’s most recent participation in AV Test lab tests resulted in the blocking of only 95. 4.4% of threats that are not a day old and 97% of known risks. These aren’t bad numbers but they’re not anywhere near the top security suites.

Adaware users seeking better performance should look into alternatives. We particularly recommend Kaspersky and Bitdefender that are known for their reliability and performance in real-world tests. Additionally, only Pro and Total plan users get access to online technical and customer support, which can be a bit disappointing for some users. On its website, the business provides various information and frequently asked questions.
