Adware is one type of malware. It’s not as dangerous as viruses that can destroy systems or spyware that stores data but it is just as disruptive and annoying. Adware is also used to perform unwelcome tasks on your device. For instance it can track the locations you visit to show ads that are specific to these locations. Adware creators can earn money by displaying targeted advertising without the need to sell the product directly.
Contrary to other products, Adaware review provides only Windows protection. The free version doesn’t support Mac or iOS devices. It also provides 24 hour technical support for customers of its Total and Pro packages. The basic-only version of the package offers the ability to monitor your behavior in real-time as well as automatic scans of downloads and a powerful firewall. However, it does not include web and email protection or other features such as a file shredder.
In the lab tests conducted by AV-test the software performed very well. It was able eliminate all known threats it tested against and block 97% of zero-day attacks. These scores are impressive but not as impressive as top security suites.
Adaware Total is currently 30 percent more expensive than other competitors. The reason for this is that the company has decided to stop offering different levels of protection, and instead bundle all of their tools into one package. Although this means you’ll only have one license, it will give you access to an array of PC security and privacy tools, including the removal of tracking cookies optimization tools for speeding up Windows boot times and the ability to block apps from accessing your camera or microphone.
