"Beware! Not free. Cannot get rid of it!"
Version: CA Anti-Spyware 2009
Pros
None whatsoever!
Cons
It is NOT free. You will NOT be able to remove it. It just keeps going and going.
Summary
There is No free trial. After you download, and try to run it, you have to purchase before you can use it.
I tried to uninstall, it should have been gone, but it wasn't. When I rebooted, the CA Security Center pops up again, and keeps doing so. There is no 'X' to exit out of it, and no matter how many times I right-click to close it, it keeps coming back. I can't remove the remaining folder from Program Files because it is "in use".
Garbage, garbage, garbage. You will be sorry if you install this invasive piece of junk. I know I am. -
