When you first download the new Adaware Antivirus, you'll get to experience the new look with the installation screen which allows you to install the software in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. With the shift to also become an Antivirus program, Adaware Antivirus has changed in many different ways, and the layout that we've all become used to has also received a facelift. The antivirus suite has a wide range of features and is easy to use, thanks to its simple user interface which allows users to quickly scan their computers for threats, while its robust detection engine ensures it can detect the latest viruses, malware, and spyware. For those in search of serious protection, it may be worth checking-out what Total Security can offer.Adaware Antivirus Free (formerly Ad-Aware) is a powerful and lightweight antivirus software designed to protect your computer from malicious threats. It's worth noting that Lavasoft claims that Adaware Total Security also includes Lavasoft Privacy Toolbox which has been built in partnership with Sweden’s renowned SafeIT Security (which Lavasoft claim can even protect you from the reaches of the NSA). This will annoy some users who would prefer a fully comprehensive free version but at least Adaware doesn’t nag you to upgrade. In effect, they are the same but more advanced features become available as you move through the versions. Adaware Antivirus Free 12 is available in four versions including this one i.e. Pro Security and Personal Security and Total Security.
They are different according to which version of Adaware you are running. 4 different versions availableĪlthough Adaware Antivirus Free is comprehensive and powerful enough for most needs, there are actually 4 other versions of Ad-Aware available offering slightly different functionality which is something that users of Ad-Aware might find confusing under the settings of Advanced Protection. It still doesn't have the brand trust of competitors such as Avast!, Avira, and AVG but it’s now certainly an antivirus to be reckoned with.
#ADAWARE ANTIVIRUS WINDOWS 8#
Right now, it’s a solid app, with impressive detection rates, a slick Windows 8 modeled interface with all the basic options. In all, we’re impressed by Adaware's addition of BitDefender to the antivirus suite, and we’re looking forward to trying it over time and seeing what future updates bring. Under Adaware's Main Options, there are various settings related to the basic operation, updates and an explanation of Gaming Mode (although this can be quickly toggled in the main interface and from the taskbar). Under Protection Settings, you’ll be able to tweak the real-time protection and browsing options, although Safe Browsing can only be enabled and disabled, and not customized. The rest of Adaware Antivirus Free options are divided into two parts – the ones under Protection Settings (top right-hand corner) and under Options. LavaSoft have beefed-up the power of the anti-virus engine by introducing the award-winning BitDefender to version 11 of AdAware. Scans aren’t particularly quick but can be paused if you find they are slowing down your system too much. You can also schedule scans, a must-have option for a modern antivirus.
The Custom option is particularly nice, allowing you to completely customize the scan with easy checkbox inclusions.
There are 3 initial scan options, Quick, Full, and Custom. Ad-Aware offers lots of scan options, making things very flexible for the user.
