Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 1.9
Pros: Spyware terminator is a powerful free spyware protection.Clean interface and well organized.It has very good detection of spyware and adware, it detected 12 spyware which was missed by other antispyware software.Did above average in disinfection of threats.Provides real-time spyware protection, which alerts if any spyware is trying to install itself, blocks hi-jack attempts and web guard to block spy-sites.It regularly updates it's definitions and it does have a good database.It has an option of installing Clam-av antivirus, but since I already have an antivirus I didn't install Clam-av.Spyware terminator has been de-listed off Spyware warrior and this company seems do be doing a good job of defeating spyware.
Cons: None really.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.9
"Improved scanning ability and still The Best Anti-spy!"
Pros: This verion scans faster than the previous one. That's the first improvement I've noticed. It blocks unwanted cookies from firefox.
It does what it sez...and I like all the FREE Features included.
Verion 1.9 is still free, has threat level/segregation, customizable scan, a user-friendly interface and still INCLUDED the most features found on priced anti-spy.
After upgrade, no system crashes so far since intalled on my PC.
Thanks to Crawler who made this app!
Cons: This version isn't compatible to Windows Vista.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.9
"Good freeware with solid shields."
Pros: Add this application and it's possible to compile a good group of freeware computer security software. I say add this application because it provides good shielding. It's ths only free anti spyware that does other then "Spyware Doctor Limited' and thats way to heavy. If you are using "XP", this application with "Avast Home" or "AntiVir PE", "A-squared Free 3" and "Comodo firewall Pro' and you will have a solid group of free security software. If you use "Vista", switch the firewall to the new "Zone Alarm Free" and bingo, again, a good group of 100% free security software. This application has a nice GUI, fast scans. regular updates and shields that are so good, they are a pain in the rear. I don't recommend the web shield or the optional anti virus module. Be carefull to watch it during the installation.
Cons: It still has a bug with "Vista" but I'm thinking, it's minor and will be corrected soon.

Version: Spyware Terminator 1.9
Pros: If you are really interested in having your pc secure, Spyware Terminator is the way to go. Not just a spyware scanner,(like Spyware doctor),It removes ALL the infections, for FREE! It's a great HIPS program, has Real-time protection and includes Clam virus protection. It will warn you and stop any malicious changes to your pc,( new startup programs, toolbars, maleware, etc) I really can't believe this product is free as it's features and detection rate surpass the ones that charge big bucks $$. Spyware Terminator is a 10 star product, but 5 is the most I am allowed to give it. I recommend you download this product and I give it 5 BIG stars and two thumbs up!
