NoAdware v3
Review of NoAdware v3
If your computer is running slow you may be infected with adware and or spyware. I recently had a problem with a sluggish system and suspected adware was the culprit. The final straw came when I was unable to remove a program that was automatically installed onto my hard drive.. my pc was "hi-jacked", the program buried itself into the registry of my PC while browsing the net.
I suspect the scam is they auto-install this program, then expect you to buy their product to get rid of the crap they just auto-installed ! Great strategy ! piss off the customer prior to the sale? By the way their program disabled HTTP local host, which, as an ASP developer is critical to developing and testing VB scripts locally. I needed help!!
Having read about Noadware, I decided to try it. It worked great!! It was fast and super easy to use. It cleaned all the bugs from the registry and my pc always runs faster after I update and run it. No more intrusions or unauthorized sites. Here's a review of version 4 ( at the time of the writing I used v3):
Noadware 4.0 - New version has been released! Noadware is constantly updated to identify the latest threats to your privacy. The software will scan your PC for different Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and Web Bug traces. These items not only create nuisances in the form of popups, system slowdowns and crashes, but many items actually record personal information about you, such as credit cards, social security numbers, or other sensitive information. With the click of a button, you can safely block those annoying yes/no boxes asking for your permission to install Adware / Spyware. If you happen to attempt to install an item that exists on our block list, the item will actually be prevented from being installed! You can also Protect IE Favorites to ensure that no website can add their URL to your browser's 'Favorite List'. Users can schedule times when NoAdware will automatically scan your computer for possible Adware / Spyware infiltrations. This protects you in the event that you forget to do so manually. Visit Noadware
Installation Process
The Installation process is a very simple indeed and you are immediately prompted to install the latest definitions files.
Ease of Use
The reason this tool has been downloaded by over 40 million people word wide is because of its simplicity. The graphical User interface is very easy on the eye and the software is very easy to navigate even for the novice user.
Scanning Time
On our windows 2000 computer first scan did take about 23 minutes. Although this is not fast it does indicate a detailed signature file. Be aware that some anti-spyware products boast scan times of 5 minutes or less. This is because the signature file is most likely very small or a rip off of another product so therefore offers very poor protection for spyware.
Protection
NoAdware detected and removed all know spyware we installed in our test pcs and no false positives ( this is the marking of legitimate windows and other application files as spyware - a very dangerous process indeed ) were made. One very effective feature was the "always on" memory resident spyware shield that will detect spyware before it even installs or infects your computer. This option is vital if you visit a lot of sites online or download many files from the internet
Other
There are a few more features to this product worth noting:- (i) The ability to schedule a scan to run on your pc at anytime automatically. (ii) Infected files are quarantined and can be deleted at a later date. (iii) Allows you to create a backup of removed files. (iv) Offers excellent customer support that includes email & live chat should you have any questions. (v) Free PC Scan so you can check to see if there is spyware on your pc.
Summary
If you are wondering whether NoAdware is the tool for you why not take it for a test drive by availing of the Free Scan and see for yourself. With over 40 million users worldwide and a 100% money back guarantee your decision is safe.
Remember there are now over 350 anti-spyware products in the market place so choose wisely otherwise it could lead to disaster for you and your computer.
