Web Companion is a free tool from Lavasoft that supposedly protects Internet users against malicious websites, data tracking, advertising, phishing, etc. Since 2014, it has replaced the Ad-Aware security toolbar and has achieved a fairly good success rate among users. It seems that this perfect product is almost too good to be true, and it certainly is. Sophisticated installation, browser hacking, advertising and data tracking are what customers can expect for the price of the promised “safe navigation”.
What is Web Companion?
Web Companion protects your browser settings against unauthorized changes and acts as a buffer between your browser and malicious websites. For a better, safer and lighter web experience, Ad-Aware Web Companion completes the protection of your antivirus and browser against current and recent malware and attacks by marking malware at the URL level before it is even downloaded to your PC.
