Version: Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 1.60
"Average - Try the free ones first"
Pros: Installs easily, no rebooting. Easy interface to figure out. Graphically looks nice. You can do a quick scan or complete system scan. Downloads sig updates with no problem. Trial version is a full featured 40 day trial. Found a lot of infections. Removed them with no problem. Uninstall is easy too.
Cons: Doesn't seem to be doing any better than the free ones I usually use like AdAware and Spybot. I would use those first. Had to 'give email address for the key for the 40 day trial - I seemed to be getting a lot of junk mail after that, I got a feeling it was from that. I don't think its worth it to buy this thing..however it would be worth it if you got an infection on your computer you can scan it with the 40 day trial. Seemed a little slower on the scanning - full system scan took about an hour on a 80 GB drive about half full with an AMD 64 processor. Found a few 'false' infections and doesn't really give you any info on what it is it found compared to Norton and others. Try it but don't buy it without checking out the free ones. Good luck!
