Adware is a sort of malware that’s not as dangerous as system-destroying virus or data-harvesting spyware, however it can be equally infuriating and disruptive. Adware is also used to perform unwelcome tasks on your device. For instance, it can record the places you visit in order to display advertisements that are targeted to these locations. Adware creators can earn money through the display of targeted advertisements without the need to sell their product directly.

Adaware review is, unlike other similar products, only offers Windows protection. The free version does not work with Mac or iOS devices. It also offers 24/7 technical support for customers of its Pro and Total packages. The basic-only package gives you real-time security and behavior monitoring as well as automatic scanning of downloads and a powerful firewall. However, it does not include email and web protection as well as any additional features, such as a file shredder.

In the tests of AV-test’s labs the program performed well. It was able to eliminate all known threats it tested against and block 97% of 0-day attacks. These are impressive, but not as high as the best security suites.

This means that you only have one license but can avail a wide array of privacy and PC maintenance options, like the removal of tracking cookie, optimization tools to speed up Windows boot time, and the ability to prevent apps from accessing your microphone or camera.
