Version: SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition 3.9.1008
"Absolutely fantastic!"
Pros: Despite the name, this software is simple but VERY effective at detecting spyware. The interface is user friendly and easy enough to use for a novice. This software is way above average performance for a freebie. I currently use Ad-aware and spybot, but this software is as good... if not better. I experimented by running Ad-aware of which had found 1 minor spyware entry of which i deleted, i then ran 'Spybot of which had found nothing whatsoever and i then ran 'Superantispyware' of which found a further 6 problems. (of which Ad-aware & Spybot had both missed!) Although the free version of 'Superantispyware' does not include 'real time' protection this programme beats the famous 'Ad-aware' free version. You can select either a 'quick scan' or a 'complete' scan but remember to 'un-check' the system icon tray at the 'start-up' options as this is for real time protection ONLY which is avaliable with the paid version. (it would be pointless to run this continuously if you are using the FREE version) I am seriously tempted to purchase the paid version...but the FREE version offers more than average performance. This software also comes with a very useful tool: [" Find out what's running on your computer"] This tool will give you a list of exactly what programmes you have installed and if they are potentially dangerous or not. Unknown programmes could pose a threat and this software (built in) will alert you to any unknown and/or dangerous programmes. This is a fantastic piece of software through and through and i cannot fault it whatsoever.
