Trend Micro Anti Spyware review

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware, formerly known as InterMute SpySubtract, is an advanced spyware remover that implements effective real-time protection and provides useful security and privacy functions. We have carefully tested the program on several computers including absolutely clean machines and PCs infected with different parasites. Trend Micro Anti-Spyware passed all our tests and produced fine results.

The application thoroughly checks the Windows registry, running processes, web browser cookies and the entire file system. The user can choose between three scan modes: Quick Scan, Full Scan and Customized Scan. The first one is the fastest, but still very effective. It usually does not take more than 2-3 minutes. Full Scan is the most thorough. This mode allows scanning the entire file system and searching for uncommon infections. Full Scan is also relatively fast. It requires only 7-8 minutes to complete. Customized Scan is very similar to Full Scan by default. However, the user can select which system components to scan. Customized Scan is flexible, and can be as much effective as other modes.

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware uses large spyware definitions database updated on a regular basis. Currently it contains almost 89,000 parasite signatures.

Unfortunately, the program is unable to detect certain parasites, even well-known, widely spread risks. Compared to the most popular spyware removers, Trend Micro Anti-Spyware's spyware detection rate is noticeably lower.

The program implements reliable real-time protection called Venus Spy Trap. This component runs in background monitoring the system. Venus Spy Trap terminates running parasites and blocks malicious software installation attempts. It also monitors startup areas, the web browser, Windows services, system and networking settings in order to detect and prevent spyware and malware from modifying the system and hijacking the web browser.

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware comes with a special integrated tool CWShredder designed especially for detecting and removing CoolWebSearch, the most widespread browser hijacker, which that is extremely difficult to get rid of.

The application provides more additional functions. History Cleaning deletes cookies, erases Internet activity tracks, software cache and system history. It also unrecoverably shreds user-defined files and folders. SpySleuth helps the user to find out what software installed malicious objects. Other program functions are BlackList (objects listed there will be automatically deleted during a scan), WhiteList (ignored objects), Restore From Backup, Scheduled Operations, Statistics.

The program's interface is simple, convenient and user-friendly.

The fully functional trial version expires after 30 days.
