https://programworld.org/totalav-antivirus-review

Adware is a kind of malware that can be downloaded onto your computer in a way that you are unaware of. It can then spy on your computer to find out what you are searching for and then display relevant ads. This can lead to many unwanted advertisements that can be extremely distracting and slow down your computer. It could also pose serious privacy, health and security risks. Adware is a tool that can obtain data from you and sell it to marketers.

The company behind Adaware is Lavasoft which has been around for many years and has been developing legitimate antivirus software solutions. The program is easy to install and doesn’t require you to uninstall your current antivirus. Once installed, you’ll be able to perform a quick, full or custom scan, and then update the product by accessing the main dashboard.

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

Ad-aware was able block 95.4 percent in AV-Comparatives’ Real-World protection tests but only 97% of zero-day test samples. The results might appear good however they’re not impressive when compared with the leaders in the industry. Both the Pro and Total versions of this antivirus come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
