Publisher's description
From Tenebril :SpyCatcher Express protects all Web surfers by providing a safe and advanced antispyware solution. Free Scan. Free Removal. Free Forever.
SpyCatcher Express protects against next-generation, mutating spyware and puts users back in control of their PCs. SpyCatcher goes beyond traditional signature matching by incorporating a three-pronged method for threat detection (profiles, behavioral analysis and contextual intelligence) to ensure cutting-edge protection. Competitors typically use one detection model, preventing them from blocking mutations and the latest threats. DeepDefense prevents the installation of rootkits, removes aggressive spyware, intercepts all API calls and blocks reinstallation of aggressive spyware. Tenebril's Spyware Research Center provides detailed information on files that are deemed suspicious. Suspicious programs may be new spyware, mutations of known spyware or legitimate programs behaving contrary to their purpose or missing vendor tags.
Version 4.0.4.6 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2006 4.4.6
Pros: has a fast scan, real time protection i believe, fairly easy to adjust settings. and on the first scan it found some nifty little things, pieces of games and some nasty spyware. but...
Cons: after the first scan i went to some disreputable sites to get some bad cookies and such and ran a scan, clean as a whistle except a cookie from com.com ???? really don't recommend this, IMHO it doesn't cut it like the rest, better off with one of the other leading spyware apps.

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2006 4.4.6
"NEVER got program to run ????"
Pros: NOTHING. Got it downloaded but never got it to run. At a file size of over 17Mb!! not really worth the disk space.
Cons: This so-called security program stopped ALL my programs from loading!! After installing this I could not get it to run and would not allow me to run ANY of my other programs or even get on the internet!! I had to go into safe mode just to uninstall this junk. I even tried installing it a SECOND time just to see if any of my security programs were stopping or conflicting this program from running. Still no luck. Had to do a hard boot and go into safe mode to uninstall it again. What a pain in the A..!!!! My suggestion, if you want good real-time antispyware/adware monitoring and removal for FREE.Try Microsoft Anti-spyware, or Spyware Terminator. Both are top-notch and they won't crash your PC!!!

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2006 4.4.6
"Tenebril, you have balls!!!!!!"
Pros: This is the absolute worst and most dangerous app I ever tried. This crap is a system destroyer. No pros at all, pure trash! Conflicts with other apps run rampid. LOLOL!!!!!
Cons: First it was identified by two reputable apps as a rootkit. "SpySweeper" and "AVG Anti Root Kit". Takes over your system and destroys other security apps as well as damaging "Windows XP OS". Free is not free here. I had to reformat a great PC because the uninstall destroyed needed files for the OS to function. This app cost me eight hours of my time but luckily all my files are backed up on an external hard drive. Download this crap if you have the knowledge to reformat a computer and install at your own risk!

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2006 4.4.6
Pros: Its free and had no problems with using it.
Cons: i just can't believe that a company like tenebril has come out with such a stupid program..
it detected 4 traces and all were not spyware...one of them being ie's very own context menu file!
good god! thankgod,i am knowledgeable user,otherwise other guys would have deleted some important files with it...
sorry,but free doesn't make it a good product and especially the level of istake which has been committed..

Pros: Free
Cons: Same as other people.It found 7 supposidly spyware threats.They were perfectly legitimate files within my pc, a couple of them was from my HP Lexmark printer,and the best of all one from my Bitdefender firewall/antivirus? Weird.Were the makers of this software on something when they were getting this programme together??????
