What Is the Best Way to Remove Adware?
- Ad-Aware might be the best-know software for removing adware. Not only does it provide a free download version that does a superb job at tracking down and removing the pesky adware, but Lavasoft, the company that creates and distributes Ad-Aware, has two more powerful editions. There are even versions made specifically for businesses and non-profit organizations. Either way, you will be covered with Ad-Aware. A link to their website is provided in the Resources section.
- 1 Click Spy Clean is another program that helps defend your computer from adware, spyware and other types of destructive malware. This software isn't free, however. There are many perks 1 Click Spy Clean provides, though. It not only has email support, but provides consistent upgrades in efforts of keeping the most advanced adware off your computer. If you are skeptical about the price, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee as well as a trial version. There is a link to 1 click Spy Clean's website in the Resources section.
- McAfree AntiSpyware is another incredibly popular program available for consumers. It is also one of the best anti-sypware programs available. It detects more than 80 percent of adware and spyware on each scan. It can do this because it consistently monitors areas of a computer that are most often attacked by the malware. McAfree costs a fee and comes in specialized packages for individual computers, all the way up to large businesses. The company also offers a free 30-day trial for those looking to try before they buy. A link to McAfree can be found in the Resources section.
