Adware is one kind of malware. It is not as malicious as viruses that cause system damage or spyware that stores data but it is just as intrusive and annoying. It can also perform unwanted tasks on your device, like recording your visits to certain locations and displaying ads specifically tailored to those locations. This is an excellent way for authors of adware to earn money without having to sell their product directly.
In contrast to many other competing products, Adaware Review offers only Windows security – the free version does not even support Mac or iOS devices. It provides 24/7 technical support for users of the Pro and Total packages. The basic package comes with real-time antivirus and behavior monitoring, as well as automatic downloading and a strong fire wall. However, it doesn’t include email and web protection, nor other features such as a file shredder.
In the tests conducted by AV-test’s lab, the software performed well. It was able to eliminate all the known threats it tested against and block 97% of 0-day attacks. These numbers are impressive, but they’re not as impressive as those of the top security suites.
If you opt to purchase the top-tier solution, Adaware Total, it’s worth noting that it’s 30 percent more expensive than competitors. This is due to the fact that the firm decided to stop offering multiple levels of protection and instead bundle all their tools into one bundle. This means that you’ll only have one license, it will provide access to an array of PC security and privacy tools, including the removal of tracking cookies optimization tools for speeding up Windows boot times, as well as the ability to block applications from accessing your camera or microphone.
