NoAdware 5 Review

This article offers a comprehensive review of NoAdware 5, a popular adware removal tool. As per its website, the tool has been downloaded over 47 million times across 100 countries.

Why do we need NoAdware?

While browsing the Internet you may download content such as music, software and videos. There is a good chance that you may also end up allowing malicious codes, such as adware and spyware into your system. Performance reduction, data corruption and identity theft are some of the disastrous results caused by these programs.

These malicious programs are usually very advanced and mostly go unnoticed by conventional antivirus programmes. This is where you find the need of a reliable adware removal program such as NoAdware.

Let us evaluate various features that make NoAdware so popular among computer owners:

•    Download and Installation: The installation file of the NoAdware free scanner is available through www.noadware.net. The size of the file is merely 2.4MB and we managed to download the file within a minute on a broadband connection. The program installation wizard completed smoothly and without any hiccups.

•    Free program capability and limitations: The free program available through the NoAdware website is basically a free adware and malware scanner. The program does a thorough scan of your system and provides a list of adware and malicious programs hiding in your computer.

To rescue your computer from these programs at a single click, you need to purchase a license which will enable corrective action, advanced features and support. The subscription also includes any product or definition updates during the year.

•    Immunization with ActiveX Protection – This is a purely preventive feature that helps block malware even before it makes way into your system. Annoying popups that con you into installing spyware on your system can be effectively blocked by this feature. The feature is quite intelligent and even if you accidentally click a “Yes”, the malware would still be blocked from being installed on your system.

•    PC and Browser Shields – These shields protect you from some of the most annoying and lethal actions of spyware. For instance, IE Home Page and IE Favorites shield prevents any malicious website from adding itself as your browser homepage or in your bookmarks. Every time there is an automated attempt by a website to add itself as a homepage or as a bookmark, you will be prompted with a message to either approve or block the attempt.

•    Scan scheduler – This feature allows you to set a periodic antimalware scan for your system at preset intervals. Regular scans will happen without any manual initiation. The scheduler frees you from the hassle of remembering and manually doing a regular scan.

•    Pricing – The free version provides 100% scanning and detection ability to help you identify almost every hidden malware. However, you need a subscription to delete the malware with a single click. The subscription costs USD 27 per year, and includes program as well as definition upgrades during the subscription period along with dedicated technical support.

Conclusion

It takes more than an antivirus program to ensure safe browsing and adequate protection to your online computer. It is very important to detect programs that lie in the grey area of spyware and malware, which is where programs like NoAdware prove resourceful.
