This application demonstrates competent adware-detection skills and includes a scan scheduler, but it still can't quite measure up to some free programs in this class. On the plus side, the purple-tinted interface is both attractive and easy to use, with large buttons for scanning your PC, scheduling scans, browsing scan results, and reviewing the scan history. But unlike some of its more capable competitors, this application lacks advanced features such as real-time protection. In our tests, the program's scan speed was quick and reliable, as it located the majority of adware we purposefully installed. However, at about 20MB, the application does hog a good deal of PC resources when running in the background. The demo provides you with 10 free cleanings, but a 30-day trial period would still be more up our alley. This program isn't comprehensive enough to be your only shield against malware, but it certainly could be a worthy addition to your arsenal.
