Version: CounterSpy 2.5.1032
"Solid protection at a reasonable price."
Pros: If you don't like it, fine, don't use it. What I can say is I will renew my license this October. It works great on both "XP" and "vista". It has solid protection and removal capabilities ans works the way I like my security software to work. Those who can't download this app or are having trouble with uninstalling it, quit playing around with registry cleaners. There is no problem either downloading or uninstalling this software. It kills all the others in every way. While other vendors like "PC Tools" and "Webroot" are on a huge downhill slide, "Sunbelt Software' remains dependable and that includes great tech support. This is the only software of this type I can recommend. I use this and "Kaspersky" and I stay clean. I hate reformatting!
Cons: It's a large install. Auto updating has some issue on my "Vista" system so I do it manually without any problems. If anyone knows of a better anti spy software, please let me know! And don't tell me anything about "AdAware 2007" because it's not in the same league as "Counter Spy". The only other that is, is "A-Squared" and it's twice the price.

The gist of what you say I found was true, but that registry cleaner comment was rather ignorant.

But theres no need to pay more then this great application sells for. It is in a class of it's own. Great scanner!

It's the only dedicated anti spyware I will use.
