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 4.5.2.48 includes improved interoperability, minor bug fixes.

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2007 4.5.2.48
"I refuse to chance it again. This is not a review!"
Pros: I read a review once. The caption said " I fell for it again"! LOL! It was on a "Norton" security suite. I found that review amusing to say the least. I refuse to let it happen to me, again. I tried the last release, three times. Two times, my computer never made it back to the desktop after restart. The third time it did and it scanned. It identified good software as bad and deleted them without asking me. Twice, I had to re-format my computer. Once, I was able to save it. I was dumb as *** then. Not any more! If you check this download at "Softpedia", it says "Vista" but it doesn't here at download.com. I seriously doubt it runs on "Vista" anyway. I'm sorry. I know this is supposed to be a review but I had to post this warning. By the looks of some of these reviews, I was to late.
Cons: I wish one of my enemies would try this with "Vista" and let me know what happened. I might get a good laugh out of that.

"A combination of signitures, policies and process monitors~"
Pros: -It's free; I doubt if any software vendor will dare to charge anything but technical support and maintenance in 3 years time
-*Ultra-fast "deep-scanning" engine: 3500 processes + 15000 registry entries + 60000 files in less than 3:30 mins
-*Swift-removal mechanism: action taken on shell restart instead of a full reboot
-Not a single false-positive on my XP Home SP2 reformatted more than 2 years ago
-CounterSpy-type policies: allows a user to modify and apply a set of triggers and block specific types of undesired behaviours
-Neat and clean Interface; pretty flexible and allows a user to adjust various settings whilst the default settings are reasonably comfortable for me and most users
Cons: -Fair memory footprints: 70Mb of ram
-Hinders system stability and slows down multi-tasking for quite a bit
-Policies a bit rigid, should let user choose from a larger set of actions under a larger variety of conditions
-Preventions of browser hijackings, keyloggers and host files modifications are covered by Comodo Firewall Pro and are redundant
-Overall it should worth more than 3 stars but I look forward to its improvements in the future
P.S. The deep scan found not a single spider other than cookies on my system with Spyware Terminator 2.0

Version: SpyCatcher Express 2007 4.5.2.48
Pros: This software is okay, but not knowing alot, I'm still learnimg, it is a little complicated.
Cons: I bought the software after I downloaded, well, after buying it, I had to uninstall it to reinstall it, which then you have to reboot. The program isn't any better, it's the same. The help topic isn't real clear and then to find out anything about anything it finds it will start the IE and i differnet page for each thing

"The most comprehensive software ever found"
Pros: In fact, I like both of this and the other software(Spyware terminator), their performances are extremely and equally excellent. It saddens me that I couldn't have both, for the sluggishness resulted in having them together.
Cons: If anything, both should not crash on each other.

"messes up bf2142 very aggressive"
Pros: Looks the part
Cons: So how come adaware -spybot don't find the same threats as this .
Wont allow games to load or connect to internet and only allows access for 30 mins, so just use something else instead.
