a-squared Free

I recently saw a-squared Free on File Hippo and had not seen it mentioned on this forum much at all. When are people's opinions of this software, and is something I should consider part of my anti-spyware arsenal?

I don't have the patience for it, it takes as long or longer than an antivirus to scan your system...

You have four choices for the type of scan you want. The most thorough scan (also the longest) is faster than Superantispyware which everybody raves about. I run the scan one every week or two so I don't care how long it takes as long as it's thorough. Of all the spyware programs I have SAS is by far the longest scan.

Have it, along with on demand SAS, AVG AS, resident ST, + everyones old faves (they don't get much of a work out these days.)

Like it. Frequent updates, good scan, seems to be good at removal...don't really know, been a long time since I've had to remove anything, and the occasional FP. No big deal.

When I got SpywareQuake a year or so ago, it was the one application that found and finished the beast off, after running SmitfraudRem.

Recommend. It's good, the price is right, support seems good, just keep an eye out for the FP's.

SAS has never found anything on my system. Lavasoft's Ad-Aware new version found one item, but it was a tracking cookie -> something they all should look for. AVG Anti-spyware is the best in my opinion. Spybot is also on my top tier because of the immunize feature :).
