CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Though this spyware utility has an impressive set of features, its poor performance overshadows any benefits a cool bag of tricks could offer. Disspy Pro includes an antispyware scanner, as well as a real-time monitor. Customization options are many and easy to use. You can select which system areas you want to check. If a program works improperly after a cleaning, you can both delete items and ask the program not to check the program again during the next go-round. Yet, during testing, Disspy Pro found far fewer malware items than similar programs we've encountered did. The real-time monitor wasn't as watertight as we'd like it to be. Surprisingly, the demo version of this program won't remove malware once it's found--a glaring problem, in our opinion. Because of this, we were left in the dark as to whether the program efficiently removes programs after identification. Overall, Disspy Pro has too many trouble spots to make it a useful download.Publisher's description

Version: Disspy Pro 3.0
"Nice GUI, detects huge number of spyware, frequent updates..."
Pros: Best part is the real time monitor - you leave it ON and don't have to worry. Even if something get's installed on my comp, Disspy removes it...

Version: Disspy Pro 3.0
"Do not have it delete items without checking them first.."
Cons: With the trial version, all items identified as a problem by the scan were not problems. One was an entry in the registry for exporting a web page to Excel. Another was html tied to Realaudio. Others were IIS executables.

Version: Disspy Pro 3.0
"Found adware that AdAware and SpyBot couldn't ..."
Pros: Nice looking software, very fast scan process and good database. It found 2 more adware then AdAware or SpyBot!
Cons: Scan feature only available in this PRO version, but visit H-Desk home page and try Disspy LITE, it's almost the same but with removal feature! Works great for me!
