Performance
Lab tests carried out on
NoAdware proved the application is back on
track to becoming one of the best anti-spyware
out there. It discovered 53 infections and
effectively removed almost half of them – (26
of the 53) a 49% success rate. We believe
there’s a lot more room for improvement but
hey! NoAdware definitely keeps a safer PC than
many other products out there.
Interface
NoAdware has a simple
interface that’s very easy to use. Useful
features are easy to find and not locked under
adjacent features - like some other
anti-spyware. A number of NoAdware users have
reportedly experienced graphical display issues
while using NoAdware, we encountered no such
issues.
Automatic
Scheduling
While you off to bed,
automatic scheduling enables you schedule a
scan. You can pick any day of the week you want
the scan to hold or even be more specific and
choose a time of the day.
Browser
Shield
The Browser Shield protects
users while they surf the internet. It locks
the Home Page and Favorites aspects of your
browsers and requires you make a decision
whenever a web page wishes to add itself
automatically.
No Quarantine and
RollbackSet Backs
NoAdware’s spyware detection
algorithm isn’t been perfected and the absence
of a quarantine or rollback feature means a
user who accidentally deletes a windows system
file after a scan would have to find to a way
to fix that error outside of NoAdware.
Our
Comparison
Our comparisons with previous
versions revealed that the present NoAdware 5.0
has a lot more features than its predecessors,
its adware signature database is quite larger
than what it used to be and it now updates as
often as 4 times a week. - this alone is
progress as customers are not left in the dark
when it comes to keeping their PCs spyware
free.
System
Requirements
The NoAdware site provides no
system requirements for users, but here’s what
we think:
- Intel Pentium II processor (or
equivalent)
- 64MB RAM
- 8MB free hard disk space required for
initial installation
- Internet Explorer 6 (or greater)
- Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP
Rating
(6.5/10)
Though NoAdware seems to be
an effective anti-spyware product, its
infection removal rate still lurks somewhere
around 50%. When we tested NoADWARE, it took a
lot longer to scan the computer than the other
softwares we tested. It also didn't pick up as
many spyware and adware programs as the other
two programs we've tested. We would like to
believe the geeks at NoAdware have turned a new
leaf and are now desiring of making their
anti-spyware one of the best out there hence it
receives a 6.5/10 from us.
