  "This was one of my favourites."

  by QuentinTarantino on November 15, 2006

  Pros: Brilliant interface.Quite a quick scan and I like the way you can left click on any single file to scan.

  Cons: Aha,Here it comes.I have has SpyEmergency for a while now.I recently upgraded my firewall and this is what warning I recieved from my firewall.

  "Spy Emergency is attempting to monitor user activities.It may track or log keystrokes, mouse movements, clicks, websites visited and all other user behaviours.We have denied this, and indeed access to your pc"

  There we go.Thats was good enough for me to uninstall after a few months.

  Its a shame companys have to resort to this type of behaviour!

  "TOO many false positives, and it makes ur pc goes haywire!"

  by ice_queen85 on December 14, 2006

  Pros: *none

  Cons: *this is the worst anti spyware product; bcuz i had such a bad experience with it, i have to make sure that i write a review about this prod.

  *it gives you so many false positives,eg inclusive of my avast antivir, 7-zip, vlc media player and some very crucial system32 files, i being a dummy, deleted these files and after booting, i could not log on to my windows, n had to reformat my ******* pc!!

  *when i checked the same files that were found infected with avg anti-spyware, spyware doc and spy sweeper, they didnt detect any thing wrong with my pc.

  *beware! you don't want to learn about this prod like me, the hard way!

  "Netgate Is Under Rated!"

  by Big.Daddy.1124 on December 5, 2006

  Pros: Well, I have done a lot of research and homework in the month I have been working with Spy Emergency. There is some who claim this product creates false positives so the customer will buy the software; with my research, I must say that all of those claims appear to be unfounded!

  Spy Emergency is light on your machines resources with an extremely fast scanning engine. It's signature base is deep! You can find applications that are as equally effective and provides a signature base that rivals Spy Emergency, however, they all seem to be extreme on an average machines resources.

  The user interface is self explanatory and very easy to navigate. I found the skins to be an added addition, as my vision problems make some applications hard to use.

  I have no complaints with this software and recommend it as a great addition to any existing defenses you may have!

  Cons: After extensive testing I can find absolutely no problems with this application.

  "One of the best"

  by shaywin on October 13, 2006

  Pros: Really a must have among the spyware arsenals. This is a company which is working really hard. No hogging of resources at all. Works around 15-16000 K when at use, meaning at full scanning. My laptop's doin g8 :)

  Cons: Time to scan is quite much but compared to other famous ones(excluding ad-aware pro), it's not that bad.

  "Much Improved."

  by UM Canes on November 10, 2006

  Pros: First off let me confirm that this product is not listed on "Spyware Warrior's" list of rogue anti-spy apps. One comment to a review claimed false positives. That just is not true. This product is owned by a company working very hard at improving their product. The signature database has increased by almodt 2,000 in a month to 122,080. Now in comparing this number to the giants in the game it's anyware from 20,000 to 35,000 signatures smaller. Still their number is far higher than "Adware Spyware Be Gone" which also isn't. bad. The scans are pretty fast and most importantly for those whose machines are limited in ram their is no noticable system drag. Their are several skins to choose from and the active protection is not overbearing or scarry to newbies.

  Cons: None! Very decent product for a second.
