 Spyware Terminator
Spyware Terminator reviewSpyware Terminator is a free anti-spyware program, which stands out against other less known spyware removers in quite effective real-time protection and useful additional tools. The application passed most our tests and revealed good results.Spyware Terminator scans the Windows registry, running processes, essential system components and the entire file system. The user can choose between three scan modes. Fast Scan checks only known spyware locations, but doesn't take more than one minute. Full Scan allows to thoroughly examine the entire system including unknown files and related objects found on all hard drives. It checks a regular modern system in less than 15 minutes. Custom Scan can be used to specify what system components and locations to analyze. All scan reports are detailed and well informative. Spyware Terminator uses regularly updated malware definitions database. The program implements real-time protection based on an engine monitoring running applications, active services, startup registry keys, file associations, system configuration files, current web browser settings and loaded plug-ins. The real-time monitor can block the installation of dangerous parasites and unsolicited software, prevent browser hijacks and unauthorized system modification. The application also offers several useful utilities including System Restoration, File Analysis and File Removal. The first tool allows to create special checkpoints that should help recovering the compromised system. The second one likens Spyware Terminator to common antivirus software - it analyzes specified files and provides detailed reports on them. File Removal can be used to delete files that cannot be removed in an ordinary way, as they are always in use or locked by the system. Other Spyware Terminator's functions are Scheduler, Quarantine and Ignore List. The program's interface is clean and plain, but yet attractive enough. It should be noted that Spyware Terminator is made by Crawler company, which distributes Crawler Toolbar, an Internet Explorer add-on that some security experts identify as trackware, as it (or at least some of its versions) was developed by IBIS company, makers of the infamous IBIS Toolbar. Nevertheless, Crawler Toolbar is not spyware, adware or a browser hijacker. Its recent versions are legitimate. Domains associated with the product are spywareterminator.com and spyterm.com.

The Crawler toolbar (v2) should have the option to NOT be installed.
Is it fixed in 2.2? I never bothered to check.

One of the best anti spyware FREE, with REAL-TIME protection.
For those with a slow scans, the way to solve is get a new and fast computer.

Like the #2 reviewer, I experienced slow scans with older versions of ST. Version 2.0, however, scans very fast. The full scan of about 55gig of files took only 35 minutes.

3 hours to scan what is that idiot on about it scanned 100gig in 20min flat and thats a full scan, this software is excellent for a free product good as adaware and spybot but with real time scanning.

Spyware Terminator SUCKS. The scans take well over three hours on a 80 gig hd with only 30 gigs of files. The interface is pretty neat, but that's about it.

Does as well - if not better - than many programs for which you have to pay.....

Version 1.5 of this product came out and so now it includes HIPS and Anti-virus. So it might be worth reviewing the product again.

This should be a 5 star rating. Its free and it works well.
