  "it's okay, but...."

  by skizz on August 15, 2006

  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.

  "NEVER got program to run ????"

  by Smoaky on March 12, 2006

  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!!!

  "Tenebril, you have balls!!!!!!"

  by not.guilty00 on April 5, 2007

  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!

  "Poor!"

  by Phenom_Deadman on March 3, 2006

  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..
