Ad-Aware Personal Security for Windows

User Reviews

• Don't download

  Bell_LucciMarch 3, 2015

  Pros

  ABSOLUTELY NONE!

  Cons

  If you are looking for an excuse to do a factory restore absolutely download this program otherwise steer clear. This program will install trojans/viruses as it's installing.

  Summary

  Two hours after scanning which found no issues, my computer shut down and would not restart until I put in my restore disk.

• Feels & works Great !

  April 4, 2012

  Pros

  -The price is right at 12$! -First time I see a snappy (fast) interface on any recent Anti-"anything". Feels really light. -Detected my browser trying to go to a advert (had this for months running avast 6) - "Shop & Bank safely online" feature blocked it, then a Repair removed it. Bye bye Avast! -Cool interface and simple enough right out of the box. I can recommend it to my mother :-)

  Cons

  Full scan took long the first time - I guess I should feel better protected.

  Summary

  Price is right. Feels light. Protected me from start. Cool Interface. Competitors should learn from this good move - i.e.: WE DON'T WANT BLOAT-WARE (Software bloat) ! Congrats adaware, you're on the right path to what WE the people want :-)

• confused why do we have to have the antivirus as well

  Steven LimbrickApril 4, 2012

  Pros

  None I do not see any as it now has anti virus in with the spyware. This is pointless.

  Cons

  Looks like their is no adaware as we knew it i.e malware edition. Go to the site and it is so confusing. Is their no longer a free editon just for spyware. We now have to download one with anti virus which if we already have an anti virus we cannot. So what is the point of AdAware now. This means I am now open to more spyware as I cannot use this with another antivirus. This stinks.

  Summary

  Bad move
