Editor's review of Spyware Terminator 2

  • 4.0 stars

  • "Terminate spyware"
  • Version reviewed: Spyware Terminator 2

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 2

    "Very good freeware, but....."

    by The Sports Fan on December 26, 2007

    Pros: I used the anti-spy portion (Only) for a long time as a second. Then I got so sick and tired of the active shield interrupting me when I was busy, I uninstalled it. It bugs you more then any other anti-spy program I've ever tried. I no longer have the need f or this program.

    Cons: Only detected cookies on my machine and a few false positives. It was such a pain in the rear when I was busy doing other things it's gone. Do not install the toolbar or the anti-virus because there are better free anti-virus options.

    "Phoney"

    by Vanillaman on February 11, 2008

    Pros: Yet another phoney `AntiSpyware' product. It seems to be coming into fashion.

    Cons: I'd swear that those who rate this phoney garbage as any good are novices. This is the third time I've decided to give it a chance, this time based on the positive reviews here. Yet again it only found 1 or 2 objects. I then tried AVG AntiSpyware Free and it found 10 Medium threats......

    "THE BEST FREEWARE YET ."

    by justletme on November 28, 2007

    Pros: I feel that this is an excellent anti-spyware program that pulls up a lot of stuff even though the majority is tracking cookies . It has a nice looking , easy to understand interface and is probably just as good if not better than AVG anti-spyware or a lot of the garbage freeware that download.com offers .

    Cons: Not really anything I can think of . So far I haven't had to remove any major infections with it so I cant honestly say how well it would do with this .
