Good service, but difficult communication.

I have been using Adaware for many years now, i find the program to be great for a free malware software/app. I have run this app on many computers, and feel it is 1 of the BEST in its field for free. I am a gamer so i dont like being interrupted during gaming, adaware does not interfere with my gaming, and it is generally fast and efficient, the benefits of the program is to try and keep u safe, and i believe with more than 30 years computer experience that it ranks as 1 of the highest free malware programs, thank u for many years adaware..

Longtime quality software kept up to date by a great teM

Adaware is very good. It has found things on my computer others didn't. I recommend it to everyone.

Quarantine king, I am so happy that Adware was available for me to utilize in my time of need for virus and malware protection.

excellent!!

The updating process that I experienced is, to put it mildly, one big PITA! On two of my three computers, the update page would lock up as soon as I clicked the "update" box.
On only ONE computer, did it finally unlock and allow me to complete the update process.

On another computer, I am still running Win XP pro....as it has been and still is a very efficient and trouble free OS...but Adaware refused to update on that one because OF my "outdated" OS. Too bad, so sad. The XP Pro stays.

The other two computers are running Win 7 Pro, and I will continue with that one, until hell freezes over. Tried Win 10 ONCE and it nearly destroyed one of my computers and DID destroy my lap top....had to completely reinstall everything on that one.

OTHER than all that, I am very happy with Adaware, and will continue to use it, in spite of the problems attempting to update it. The two stars are because of the difficulty in updating the product. I give it 5 stars for product efficiency.

The free version is marginally effective, but unfortunately it comes with "Web Companion" as an unwanted add-on. I accidentally clicked on the Web Companion icon on my Start Page, and it immediately attempted to open several browser tabs - all failed to open completely. Worse still, it changed my browser Home Page & tab settings. If you choose to keep Adaware, UNINSTALL "Web Companion" IMMEDIATELY. It serves no useful purpose to the user & causes more grief than good. I found Lavasoft Web Companion in "change or uninstall programs" in the Control Panel. You can also eliminate it by going to C:// Program Files (x86)

Super easy to use/ setup. I like it.

Good app. Just the constant screen pop is annoying. But maybe that's just me

Used it for years. Great product!

Appears to be great on android phone.
Unsure about on my desktop.

Repeated installing, attempted but failed repairs per instructins, removal and installations. Program stops when attempting to scan and gives an error message. Repairing the program also ends up with an error message. Bottom line, the program never worked.

Someone accidently clicked on this. I've paid for the different products since they first came out, however, the last paid program couldn't successfully be downloaded and operated; nobody cared, no support, just the full charge

All good with the free offer.

I've been satisfied with the free version of Adaware for years now and I prefer
to use it in over any other of its competitors. That's not to say that I use it exclusively. I also use Malwarebytes and Spybot. I backup my computers weekly in case I install something I regret. (it happens) I like the regular updates and upgrades.

update the definition slow, but other features and services are great
