Adware is a type of malware. It is not as malicious as viruses that destroy systems or spyware that stores data, but can be just as disruptive and annoying. Adware is also used to perform unwelcome tasks on your device. For instance it can be able to record the places you go to display ads specifically targeted to these locations. Adware creators earn money by displaying targeted advertising without the need to sell their product directly.
As opposed to other similar products, Adaware Review offers only Windows security – the free version isn’t compatible with Mac or iOS devices. It only offers 24/7 technical support to users of the Pro and Total packages. The basic-only package gives you live-time monitoring of your behavior and antivirus as well as automatic scans of downloads and a powerful firewall. However, it doesn’t provide email and web protection as well as other features such as a file shredder.
The software did well in the tests conducted by AV-test in the lab. It was able to eliminate all known threats it was tested against and block 97% of 0-day attacks. These numbers are impressive, but they’re not as high as those of the top security suites.
Adaware Total is currently 30 percent more expensive than rival. That’s because the company has made the decision to stop offering a variety of protection levels and instead bundle their tools into one package. It means that you only get one license, but you are able to avail a wide array of privacy and PC maintenance features, such as the removal of tracking cookies, optimization tools to speed up Windows boot times and the ability to block apps from accessing the microphone or camera.
