Malware and spyware are two of the biggest privacy and security threats that computer users face these days. This ranges from – relatively – harmless tracking cookies that track a computer user’s activity on the Internet to trojans and worms that steal, modify or delete data. Anti-spyware software should therefor be an integral part of a user’s PC defense system.
SUPERAntiSpyware is, as the name suggests, an anti-spyware software that is offered as a free and commercial version with both versions of the program using the same detection algorithms and definition databases. The program’s main task is to detect, remove and protect a computer system from various forms of malicious software that includes trojans, dialers, adware or keyloggers including the effects they may have had on the system..
Computer users who do install SUPERAntiSpyware will notice that it is a lightweight program with a computer memory usage of less than 4 Megabytes while running. This usage only changes during scans but drops back down to the default value once the scan has been completed. This means that the program is a good choice even for slow computer systems where users have to use resource friendly programs (even better if the programs are working as well as SUPERAntiSpyware).
The low resource usage is reflected in the interface of the anti-spyware program which some users might even call minimalistic.
The main interface displays options to scan the computer system, schedule scannings, check for updates, manage the items in quarantine and to open the preferences. It will also display statistics like the definition database version and the last update or scan date.
A click on the Scan for harmful software button displays the various manual scan options that are available. Users can perform a quick, complete or custom scan. The quick scan will only scan the most notable locations that malicious software uses to infect a computer system including locations in the Windows Registry, startup folders and directories on the main hard drive.
Complete scan will scan the full computer system. This scan will take longer to complete due to the amount of data that needs to be analyzed.
Custom scan finally gives the user the option to select the items and locations that should be scanned. It is here for instance possible to only scan the computer memory, registry and startup locations and not folders on the hard drive or tracking cookies.
The time it takes to scan a system depends on the selected scan type and the data that is stored on the system. A link to the scanning preferences is provided which first time users should use to customize the scan according to their needs.
Some options that are provided in the preferences include the ability to add applications to a whitelist and to exclude folders from a scan. Whitelisting applications makes sense if the program detects a false positive so that it will not accidentally be deleted or moved into quarantine.
SUPERAntiSpyware will display a list of items that it has identified as possible malware after the scan. Additional options are provided in this result list which is unlike many other programs which only allow to ignore or delete the findings.
It is here for instance possible to trust items, report false positives or view a explanation of a detected item which will open a page on the SUPERAntiSpyware website with information about the selected item.
Here are the features that the commercial version of SUPERAntiSpyware offers and the free version does not:
- Repair broken Internet Connections, Desktops, Registry Editing and more with our unique Repair System!
- First Chance Prevention examines over 50 critical points of your system each time your system starts up and shuts down to eliminate threats before they have a chance to infect and infiltrate your system.
- Real-Time Blocking of threats! Prevent potentially harmful software (spyware, adware, worms, dialers, hijackers, keyloggers) from installing or re-installing.
- Registry Protection against Browser Hi-Jackers and other threats.
- Schedule either Quick, Complete or Custom Scans Daily or Weekly to ensure your computer is free from harmful software.
- Auto-Scanning on application startup ensures a clean system daily.
- Automatic Updates check for program and definition updates every 8 hours.
Especially interesting in this regard is the repair option which can perform various system and browser repairs like repairing broken network connections, enabling system tools like the Windows Task Manager or Control Panel and reseting desktop policies and web settings. Excellent if a system has been damaged by spyware or malware.
SUPERAntiSpyware is a comprehensive and resource friendly anti-spyware software for the Windows operating system. It’s repair functionality makes it an ideal candidate for removing and repairing a computer system. Interested users can download the free edition or a fully functional trial version of the pro edition at the developer’s website.

I use this to protect my system already (the free version) and spybot.
I find it difficult to say something sensible about software which I have not yet used. Reviews praise Superantispyware’s low use of resources, which is always welcome, even with modern PC’s like mine. That it surpasses competitors as Symantec in terms of detection, as claimed by some users, I take a with a grain of salt. I also don’t know whether the many extra features which it is said to have are really needed. All things considered it may well be worth to try it out for some time, though..
Real-time protection would make me feel more save. Thanks for a license.
This would be great addition with my other Internet Security programs
I’ve got SUPERAntiSpyware free on my computer system and I am very satisfied with it’s performance.I manually update the application on a daily basis and it rids my computer of spyware and other internet threats.I would love to have a license for SUPERAntiSpyware Pro so that I can access the real time protection features it provides,schedule scans and essentially enjoy an even richer net-surfing experience.The multi-faceted approach to computer protection that the pro version offers is a blessing for all security minded surfers.
