Adware is a form of malware that is installed on your computer without awareness. It will then track you to find out what you are searching for and then display advertising relevant to the search results. This can lead to a an overwhelming amount of ads that can be very distracting and slow your computer. It can also pose serious privacy, health and security threats. Adware is a tool that can take your personal information and then sell it to marketers.

The company behind adaware is Lavasoft that has been around for decades and develops legitimate antivirus software solutions. The program is easy to install and doesn’t need you to uninstall your current antivirus. Once you’ve installed it, you can run a quick, complete or custom scan and update the program via the main dashboard.

Adaware offers three plans which include Pro, free, and Total. The free plan offers real-time protection and download protection but does not include advertising blockage. The Pro version includes unlimited tech assistance, web and email security, and a robust fire wall. It also includes a digital lock, a parental control, and a file shredder.

In AV-Comparatives’ Real-World Security Tests, Ad-aware managed to block 95.4 percent of malware-related samples, but only 97% during the zero-day detection tests. These results may seem good, but they are not exactly impressive when compared against the best in the field. If you’re interested in purchasing this antivirus, there is a standard 30-day money-back guarantee for both the Pro and Total versions.
