App Review AdAware Pro Security Review

[yigido]

Homepage : http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_pro.php
It is a paid product from Lavasoft. Only paid softwares of them have new Active Virus Control feature (it came from their father Bitdefender)
I had 18 samples (1-2 days old samples)
AdAware Pro detected 7 of them by right-click scan on run 5 samples also blocked by AVC (Active Virus Control).
But it let an Adware installing. After reboot no running infection but adwares and remaining of samples

Enjoy

Hi,

Hitman Pro with BitDefender and Adware with BitDefender. Both with different detection rates.
ect.....
And a lot of hard work from you testing and putting together.

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

HitmanPro also use Kaspersky and its own cloud. I did not see Bitdefender detection in HitmaPro scan. AdAware already detected those samples.

Kind Regards,

HitmanPro is the best scanner (Zemana Anti-Malware also the same softwares)
MBAM is the second one.
About herdprotect, if you have more engine you will have more False Positives so I do not recommend it
