Adaware Review – Is Adaware Total Worth Buying?
Adware is a kind of malware that isn’t quite as sinister as system-destroying viruses or data-harvesting spyware. However, it’s just as irritating and intrusive. Adware is also used to perform unwanted tasks on your device. For example it can track the places you go to display advertisements that are targeted to these areas. This is a great way for authors of adware to earn money without selling their product directly.
Adaware review, unlike other competitors it only provides Windows protection. The free version is not compatible with Mac or iOS devices. It also provides 24 hour technical support for customers of its Pro and Total packages. The basic package comes with real-time anti-virus and behavioral monitoring, as well as automatic downloading as well as a strong fire wall. It doesn’t offer email and web protection, nor any additional features, such as a file shredder.
In the tests of AV-test’s labs the software performed very well. It was able eliminate all known threats and block 97% attacks with a 0-day duration. These scores are impressive, however not as impressive as top security suites.
