Ad-Aware Web Companion

If you're constantly browsing the internet for information or files and find yourself often downloading items that could pose a threat to your machine's security, then you'll be happy to learn about the existence of Ad-Aware Web Companion, a program with its activity centered on safe browsing and protection against threats that could arrive via downloads or any other online interaction.

Well, for starters, as far as my time spent with this application is concerned, I was happy to notice that it makes browsing more secure by applying filters and keeping an eye on your online activity, warning you of imminent danger. That's especially helpful in my case, since I get carried away in my long-hour research actions. A nice addition is the ability to mask your location through the use of a VPN.

Worth keeping in mind is that this program is compatible with most browsers, all of the known ones, and some of the niche options. Still, if you're working with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Opera, you're covered. In my case, Edge was the first choice in battle. I did try it on all the other known browsers and it did not make any difference.

Another cool feature tied to this program is when browsing, a red or green type of dot will keep the user informed on how safe a link is. This analysis is based on data collected anonymously from other users as well as from research conducted for the creation of this program.

Needless to say, the app won't stop you from accessing the content you need, but labeling it makes the user more aware of the situation, making it a great option for people like me who sometimes forget to check the security levels of certain websites.

Ad-Aware Web Companion is a helpful program for any user who spends a decent amount of time online browsing. The program itself does not take up a lot of space, and it most definitely avoids nagging the user. Grabbing this app is like putting on an extra pair of socks in the winter for extra protection.
