Version: Advanced Spyware Remover 1.80
"Better XP feel than Microsoft AntiSpyware, but no active scanners..."
Pros: There is a free version.
Comes with the abilities of all major security program: open connection viewer (TCPView), packet sniffer (any of your favorites like Ethereal, EtherSnoop or What Is Transferring?), BHO/ActiveX cleaner (hijackthis and MS), IE default pages settings (MS and SpySweeper), startup entry cleaner (hijackthis and MS), shell extension cleaner (hijackthis and MS), process manager (like Task Manager, however its much improved like SysInternals Process Explorer), comes with ability to uninstall software (like CCleaner has), and your default files, registry and process scanning during the scan.
Comes with some stuff that other antispyware programs don't, and would have to find them in specialized programs to do: system innoculation (this was a VERY important feature of the old GIANT Antispyware, before it became Microsoft, and Microsoft removed it. It protects your system against ActiveX exploits and other exploits, before they even happen). And protection against bad sites (this is exactly the same service that SpywareBlaster provides users).
The presentation of the scan progress is the absolute best-better than ALL other programs. Not only does it show a progress bar for the overall scan it shows a secondary process bar for the progress of the individual step during the scan.
XP look and feel nailed to a T!
Memory footprint is pretty small.
Updates are done within the program. Interestingly, the update tool is called "Live Update".
The absolute BEST part of this program is that it comes with a built in dictionary for processes. So you see in Task Manager that there is a process you don't know? Copy the name (with the .exe extension) and paste it into the dictionary in the program and it will tell you what it is. No more having to use Google to find out what it is!
Assuming you pay for this, completely removes the need for SpywareBlaster, HijackThis, TCPView, Process managers (like Task Manager), packet sniffers, or google for finding out what processes are.
Cons: Its not free. The free trial version (with no expiration) only lets you do spyware scans. You can't do the system innoculation with the trial. I didn't venture to fool around with my working computer settings to see if the other tools were accessible.
No active scanners, or at least no indiciation of any. If you want active scanners you are going to have to look at Microsoft AntiSpyware, McAfee Spyware, or SpySweeper.
File/Folder scanning option only lets you scan one drive at a time. So if you have more tha one hard drive (like myself) you will have to run more than one scan to scan each drive. You can't just choose My Computer to scan...it won't let you.
I really can't speak about the quality of the definitions, since I have only tried this program on computers which are like 99.9% clean.
