This spyware scanner and removal tool does the job, but enabling some functions may cause slight slowdowns and it's not ready for Vista.
Spyware Terminator's crisp, clean interface uses simple buttons and tabs to operate and set options. The latest spyware signatures are automatically downloaded, and the real-time protection keeps baby-sitting to a minimum. Real-time protection monitors key spyware types and Windows objects, though slight system slowdowns depend on your machine. Those features and the simple scheduler will make this app appealing to novices.
Advanced users will appreciate Spyware Terminator's flexibility. Setting the sensitivity of various scans is as easy as moving a slider. Experienced users will want to enable the built-in antivirus tool, which extends the power of real-time analysis by comparing program code against a database of known viruses, Trojans, and worms.
From set-it-and-forget-it users to those delving into virus code, all will find Spyware Terminator flexible, simple, and effective, key measures of a good antispyware tool.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.1
"Its free, it looks like Microsoft AntiSpyware and its fast."
Pros: Its free.
It looks like Microsoft Antispyware, for those of you who like Microsoft's product (which should be all of you reading this).
It scans fast.
It comes with active scanners.
Its scans more than just files...going into the realm of HijackThis...like startup items, BHO's, etc.
Cons: For those of you who like to rip a program for looking like a ripoff, then this program is for you, since its interface is a complete ripoff of Microsoft Antispyware...but who can disagree with them doing that since the Microsoft AntiSpyware appearance is a winner.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.1
Pros: This anti-spy program is possibly the greatest freeware anti-spy there is. It got 5 citical spywares that Yahoo anti-spy didnt catch. Recommend as your default anti-spyware removal.
Cons: Nothing that i can find, except you can't end the process of the program without going to task manager.
