Version: A-squared Free 3.5.0.11
"A FANTASTIC FREE ANTI SPYWARE !!!"
Pros: I was looking for a good secondary anti spyware but wasn't having much luck! Purely by chance i came across A-squared, so i thought I'd give it a try. Well i wasn't disappointed!! This is a good free anti spyware which every one should be using!!
I had no problems installing and setting it up.Also updating the signatures every time is so easy and so fast ,It puts Ad-Adware 2008 to shame. The quick and smart scans are pretty fast but the Deep scan takes far too long.
I use this anti spyware alongside Spyware Terminator and there are no compatibility problems what so ever! So give it a try!!!!!!!!!
Cons: Why haven't i heard about this software before??!!

I just wanted to add this comment. Two days ago my computer started to slow down and i started to get a bit suspicious! My NOD 32 scan picked up nothing, Spyware Terminator with it's resident shield hadn't even flinched! and Widows Defender was still sleeping! I also did an online scan with Trend Micro House Call, came up clear. But i still wasn't convinced. So i did a smart scan with A-Squared. Bingo !!! It discovered a Trojan called Dropper Win 32 Agent r v v! I Googled it and found out it's a nasty Trojan and most anti spyware won't pick it up but good old A-Squared did!! DO NOT USE SpyHunter to try and detect this Trojan as the software then installs it's own Spyware which your average scan won't pick up.(also it says it's free and it isn't!!)
Luckily the Trojan hadn't been on my computer for long so no damaged caused, but it could of been far worse if it wasn't for A-Squared. Thank you so much,you saved the day!!
