Adaware Review – Is Adaware Total Worth Buying?
Adware is a kind of malware that’s certainly not as dangerous as system-destroying virus or data-harvesting spyware, but it can be just as annoying and invasive. Adware is also used to perform unwanted tasks on your device. For example it can be able to record the places you visit in order to display advertising tailored to these specific locations. This is a fantastic way for adware creators to earn money without the need to sell their product directly.
In contrast to many other competing products, adaware review gives only Windows security – the free version isn’t compatible with Mac or iOS devices. It only offers 24/7 technical support for users of the Pro and Total packages. The basic package provides real-time anti-virus and behavioral monitoring, along with automatic downloading as well as a strong fire wall. However, it doesn’t provide web and email protection or other features such as a file shredder.
The software did well in the AV-test lab tests. It was able remove all known threats and block 97% attacks of 0-day. These scores are impressive, but not as high as those of the leading security suites.
Adaware Total is currently 30% more expensive than the other competitors. This is because the company has decided to move away from offering multiple tiers of protection and instead, bundle their tools into a single package. This means you only get one license but you can avail a wide array of PC maintenance and privacy options, like the removal of tracking cookies and optimization tools to speed up Windows boot times, and the ability to block apps from accessing your camera or microphone.
