BotSquash

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

This adware-removal tool's shaky performance keeps it from being a more attractive option. The spartan interface contains only a few buttons and is a breeze to operate. However, BotSquash's adware-detection skills turn out to be another story. Scanning our system for malware and removing installed components were both quick and accurate processes. However, the app's real-time spyware detector failed to catch any of the adware we installed, including Hotbar, BargainBuddy, and nCase. The built-in pop-up blocking also suffered from questionable functionality. It removed only a few of the ads we tossed at it, and it definitely slowed our Web-surfing experience to a crawl. If you already have a pop-up blocker and don't need real-time monitoring, BotSquash may do, but we'd suggest giving other, more capable programs a shot first.

Publisher's Description

From DRC:

BotSquash is one of the most up-to-date and advanced software programs for spyware and adware blocking and removal. Most other software simply scans your hard drive for problems, but BotSquash blocks the spyware from ever being loaded. It also deep-scans your computer for spyware that has already been loaded, and squashes it. BotSquash blocks those annoying pop-ups and allows you to surf the Internet with ease. You also can squash ActiveX autodownloads.
