Version: SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition 3.8.1002
"Reasonable on-demand scanner"
Pros: Automatic update check when started, fast scanning, can be (manually) fully shut down leaving no components running when not in use, unlike AdAware 2007. Option to repair changes to system after malware has been removed. Only recommended as backup to good real-time protection such as offered by Windows Defender, SpyBot SD, or paid applications.
Cons: Typical nagging free installation, with lots of option check boxes (e.g. real-time protection) that lead only to ads for the paid version. The program core needs to be turned off manually at system tray icon, it will remain running when main window is closed - and by default starts with Windows start-up unless disabled - but there is no advantage to leaving it running since the free version offers no real-time protection. When running, fairly heavy (>35,000K) memory footprint.
