I have used Adaware for maybe 15 plus years. I found it to be useful and easy to use. As of late I find the program does not find anything, it used to find things. So either I got better at keeping my system clean or the program is not as good as it used to be. I still use it regularly.

Update & renew.
It took along time to be able to update & renew but as it is only the free version, can’t really complain.

Adaware Free difficulties.
I had trouble with getting Adaware Free to work and asked for help from Support several times. I had excellent and quick responses from three Support Team members and the problems were soon solved. Adaware is now working well.
