Lavasoft Ad-Aware Total Security

Pros
Lavasoft Ad-Aware Total Security is a complete security suite; it even has tools for backing up data and recovering accidentally deleted files.

Cons
It has been years since the antivirus abilities of this software have passed third-party tests. Lavasoft also does not provide free customer or technical support via telephone.

The Verdict

This Lavasoft security suite comes with numerous security, backup and restore tools. However, they do not have the test scores to prove that they can protect you and your computer from malware.
