Spyware Terminator

[JAGO]

So I downloaded it, updated and started my scan. It's pretty quick so far! Has anyone else any thoughts on this program?

 

Edit: Oh, just saw this: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...ware+terminator

 

Eh, well now that it's been around a bit longer, has anyone any thoughts on it anyway? Heh.

 

Edit2: Wow, it generates these pretty useful logs:

Heh this is exciting.

[fullbug]

I'm happy with it, I like the real time shield as well, hard to find a free program with that feature....

[MajoMo]

Spyware Terminator from Crawler has a very good Real Time Protection. Right through it the user have a control on a startup items, changes in hosts file, file extensions, BHO, etc..

 

In the latest v. 1.8.6. 988 Spyware Terminator enhanced it Real Time Protection.

 

Don't confuse Spyware Terminator (Crawler) with Spyware Terminator 4 from Invender. This is a rogue application. You can't try it - if you want to try it you need to buy it...

 

To scan the PC I also use Ad-Aware Personal and a-squared Free (a2 have a good malware detection ratio).

 

I read somewhere that Lavasoft did an agreement with WhenU to not to detect the adware WhenU/SaveNow. It seems to be true because I have an application that needs this adware to work and Ad-Aware never detected it.

 

And I don't know yet if Ad-Aware 2007 alfa will be available in 2008...

Please don't link to rogue programs/viruses. I know your just trying to help and providing examples, but I would rather there not be links to those sites.

Thanks.

rridgely,

 

Sorry for any annoyances. Thanks for changed part.

 

Regards.
