Editor's review of Spyware Terminator 1.8.5

- "Terminate spyware"
- Version reviewed: Spyware Terminator 1.8.5
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 1.8.5
"Great Real-time Protection for free!!"
Pros: Of hundreds of Security Software out there, to this date, I do know that this is the best free anti-spy I've ever used. With its user-friendly interface, daily updates, and a quite strong resident shield, Knock-off priced anti-spy.
No conflicts and system crashes so far...LIKE OTHERS SAID SO...with my other apps. I'm using this together with my AVG anti-virus and Ad-aware SE.
It supports most of the features featured in some priced anti-spy like, customizable scan, and Threats segregation.
Thanks to Crawler who made this product.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.8.5
"Great spyware AND virus protection by Crawler!"
Pros: Good real-time spyware protection, virus protection by crawler (very high detection rate), haven't had barely any spyware once Spyware Terminator was installed! Very easy to use (profiles for beginner, intermediate or advanced users).
Cons: Even in beginner mode it asks for some programs to run (allow or deny) but once you run those programs and say allow for ever your pretty much good to go. Or if you are installing some program just disable real-time protection until installed otherwise it will ask to install every file.
