Ad-Aware Total Security is a software tool that enables you to keep your computer safe from most types of existing malware, with the help of multi-layer protection that includes a firewall, anti-phishing, anti-spam, parental control, online backup, data recovery, system tuning and file shredding.

The interface of the program is intuitive, so as to permit any type of user to make their way around it and to keep their PCs healthy and completely secure. The design of the antivirus is pretty straightforward. On the left side of the main screen you can see all options available, from ‘Scan Computer’ to ‘Web Protection’ and ‘App Management’, while details pertaining to these are displayed on the right.

The interface of the application also incorporates multiple languages such as English, Chinese, French, Hebrew and many others, in order to help you navigate through it with more ease.

Scanning all the files and folders that you have might take a while, depending on your computer’s performance, target and selected options, and might even slow down other programs that are in use, especially in full scan mode. That is why Ad-Aware has a feature that allows you to schedule a full computer scan at certain periods of time when you know you are not going to use the PC.

Aside from scanning for known viruses and other types of malware, Ad-Aware Total Security integrates behavior-based heuristic detection. This is a scanning method based on experience and it basically means that the antivirus looks at how certain programs behave, in an attempt to figure out if they have hidden malicious code.

In conclusion, Ad-Aware Total Security is a very helpful and powerful antivirus that can be used by any person in order to keep their computers safe.
