"Even free I don't think it is worth it"
Version: Spyware Terminator 2.3.0.487
Pros
Easy to use, warns you of anything that tries to connect to the internet.

Never removed anything from my computer. Pops up warnings that I previously had said to accept. Other spyware product was ran after I ran this one and picked up 40 things where as I said this one said there were none found.

Better off having something else entirely on my computer.

"Not sure of the benefits"
Version: Spyware Terminator 2.3.0.487
Pros
Installed well, nice interface, seems to work - a confirmation dialog would pop up when installing new programs to say that my registry is being modified.
Cons
On discovery of spyware (cookies & many unrecognised but popular programs in my case) the options don't seem apparent. I would click report for lack of a more suitable option, and it would just take me to their home page or suchlike.
Summary
I'm not sure I need this, I can't really see a benefit.
