This software here is made by a company called "Lavasoft", that has been a leader in the software industry for a long time with quality products for use by the average computer owner. This software is easy to use and is very easy to update, keeping everything current, giving you excellent protection from spyware and other malicious trash. This system can monitor your computer in the background while you are doing other things. This software does it's job silently and without giving you any problems. This product also keeps keyloggers, browser high-jackers, dialers, trojans, and a bunch of other stuff out of your system. It does a good job taking care of these kinds of annoyances that pop-ups create. This software has always been one of my favorites and has never let me down. It will take any kind of infection you have on your system and put them in "quarantine", where they will have no effect on your system in any way. This software is one of those that i have always had on my computers and depend on all the time. |
BitDefender Antivirus
|
This product here is one that not everyone has heard of and actually that is a shame because this is a really good product that does a great job at finding those viruses that some of the others have a hard time locating. The ease of operation with this software is great, it really could not be any more easier that what it is. You are able to update the software very easily and quickly, making it current and performing as good as it possibly can. When using this program, i would usually use it in combination with other anti-virus programs and always would leave this one for last because it would find things the others did not, showing me actually how good it was. If anyone ever asked me about this product, i would have to give it very high reccomendations because this software does work flawlessly and does some of the best virus scanning that i have ever used and i have used many different programs to be honest with you. This software costs little more than some other comparable products, but it gives you a few extras that some of the others do not offer you including a "Rootkit Detection and Removal" module that does an excellent job at removing rootkis, that can control a victim's computer, while staying hidden without the owner ever knowing it. This software bundle also comes with a few other added features that many people could find ver handy, icluding a firewall, which seems to work very well, full email spam protection, and a very good anti-spyware module.

Spy Sweeper
|
This software is probably my most favorite software that i use on a regular basis. I actually have this installed on my person computer and would not have a computer operating and being used online without it. It is made by Webroot, who have been around for years. The customer support is second to none. As for the product and what it does, ok. lets take a good look at "Spy Sweeper". First of all, if you are surfing the web at all, you really need an anti-spyware software. This, in my opinion is the absolute best that i have found so far. I have ran many different softwares for this purpose and most of the time, there is nothing out there that i have found that can even come close to this one. You can set it up to automatically update for you, which is a very nice feature because, in all honesty, most people get so busy with things, they forget to do their needed updates on a regular schedule. The interface that is used is very easy and uncluttered, making it simple to find what you need. The different security shiels that are able to be used are very handy and work very well. These shields can also be set according to your personal preferences too, which makes using them much more likely. As for the actual anti-spyware detection, this product grabs a whole bunch of things that other softwares fail to find. After you run a scan on your computer, you are left with a clean computer that operates in a much better way and with much more all around speed. When it does find a spyware on your machine, it can quarenteen the spyware and make it so that it cannot harm your system ever again. Like i said with this particular software, i just love how it works and will continue to use it on my own equipment. This is one excellent product and a must have for anyone that does any kind of online surfing at all. |
Spy Sweeper With Anti-Virus
|
If you have read the evaluation that i gave above, you'll know that i really do like webroot's products very much. When i needed to renew my subscription, i was given an option to add the virus scan to this program, and for the small amount that it costs, i didn't really question it all that much. This software operates very well and picks up almost any virus or spyware that you have in your system and takes care of cleaning them out with ease. A of right now, i have been using this software on a regular basis and have found no problems at all with the operation of the product. All the updates are set to be done automatically and with this, you know you have all current spyware and virus definitions. The bottom line is that this software has operated flawlessly for me and i would never have a problem at all with buying software from this company because of me personal history with their products. For me, this is a must-have for all the computers that i own.
