Advantages: Easy to use, quick installation, updates alot, removes almost all spyware

Disadvantages: Some freatures are disabled in the free version

Superantispyware is a Anti-spyware program that can be obatined for free at http://www.superantispyware.com/. I came across this program when i got some nasty spyware that would redirect me to diferent pages on my internet browser. When i first saw this program i downloaded it as i needed a free solution to get rid of the spyware, as my mcafee 2005 had expired. The download time for the installer was quick, and installation was a breeze. Once i had installed superantispyware, it started up and I was brought to the configuration step of the installation. The program asked me wether i would like to check for updates, and wether i would like to enable auto updateing. For this i clicked yes and, as usual for this program it downloaded all the recent updates, simply and quickly. The next step asked me wether i would like to sned a security support to superantispyware, but at the time i did not do this as i wanted to get rid of the spyware as quickly as i could. Once the installation was complete, i had to restart my computer.

Once i had restarted, i opened up superantispyware, and was greeted by a simple and effective interface. On the main panel of Superantispyware free edition there is 5 options: Scan for harmful software, Scheduled scanning, check for definition updates, manage quarantine and options and preferences. In the free edition of Superantispyware, there are many options, even though some of them are disabled as they are part of the pro edition e.g real-time protection. You can change options such as, update alerts, start upon windows startup etc

Now to the main part of superantispyware: it effectiveness at removing spyware. When you go to scan, a window comes up with scanning options, such as quick scan, full scan and custom scan. Custom scan lets you choose what areas you want superantispyware to scan e.g memory, registry, cookies. Now tot he actual scanner. The first time i used Superantispyware i choose the full system scan, and having a total of 620gb od hdd space on my laptop, you can guess it took quite long. BUT it did find the spyware and also many other files attached to it. Once the scan had finished it showed all the detected files and options to choose what to do with them e.g quarentine and delete, dont quarentine. I choose quarantine and the program quickly put the files into quarantine and, alas my problem was quickly solved.

So if you want a free solution to protection from spy-ware, you cant go wrong with superantispyware, infact its so good, its still protecting my computer a year on.

Summary: An antispyware solution you cant go wrong with
