   Review - Spyware Terminator

   1.8.2.936 (Jan 28, 2007)

   I have been using Spyware Terminator (ST) since Sep 06 and initially thought that it was the best anti-spyware program that I had used. But after comparing it with some others (AD-Aware SE Personal Edition, Windows Defender, AVG Anti-Spyware Free Editon, and Super Anti-Spyware Free Edition) over the past few months I have since changed my opinion about ST. When I conducted deep scan test on my computer with all five of my applications, Super Anti-Spyware (SAS) detected more spyware/adware than any of the others, followed by Windows Defender Final Version (WD), AD-Aware SE (ADA), ST, and AVG Anti-Spyware. SAS and WD both detected one of the ZLOB Trojans that the others had missed. The others only detected tracking cookies. Although, one of ST's previous versions (1.5) did detect some remnant spyware files that I thought had been previously removed by another program. ST does have nice features, however, and the newest version (1.8) seems to operate more efficiently than previous versions with regard to its previously annoying "allow" "block" options pop-ups. Overall, I think that it's pretty good, but it should be used in conjunction with another program (I have it running simultaneously with WD), as no one program detects and removes 100% of all spyware/adware out there. Thus far, I think that SAS is the best at detection and removal, but the free version doesn't have real-time protection...scanning and updating has to be done manually.
