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 2.5.8.145
Pros: It is quite good. It manage to detect virus that my antivirus can't detect like worms
Cons: It suck at detecting new virus. There was this worm virus i got from my friend, i found out that spyware terminator was spreading the virus while it is scanning.
Summary: The antispyware should have a self protect system to prevent virus on hopping on and riding it like a pet while spreading virus throughtout the computer.
