    "Not bad at all"

    December 19, 2012  |   By AntivirusGeek

    Pros

    Easy install
    Nice interface
    Quick updates

    Cons

    Protection is mediocre

    Summary

    Lavasoft still has a lot of work to do when it comes to protecting its users....Great improvement however but still not a top of the line free antivirus

    Paulnvfc, I am a professional tester of antivirus products. I test security products against every form of infection by viruses known. Based on results from my various test performed,I can truthfully conclude that Lavasoft AdAware offers mediocre protection
