SUPERAntiSpyware (question for Wiz), or anyone.

Post by jolynyk »

Wiz, sometime ago I think you recommended a program called SUPERAntiSpyware, which I downloaded the free version.. I ran a Scan & it identified a bunch of threats. 270 Tracking Cookies, one Trojan Agent/Gen-Koobface, and one RogueAgent/Gen-Nullo(DLL)..
Will the Free version clean these out or do I have to upgrade to the Pro Version..
And is there a better program to clean up my computer??
thanks in advance..

SAS free will remove most threats it can identify, including all of those horrible cookies (lol). I ran a registered verion of SAS for a while and the first setting I changed was checking tracking cookies (not).

SAS is sometimes recommended in malware removal forums, but usually after MBAM has run.

The current state of malware development is so intense that no single program has the definitions or heuristics to detect or block everything being unleased on us.

Thanks Wiz.. I run Mbam daily, but still get garbage & Trojans.. A friend came over & said that an email from me contained a Trojan when he opened it..
I also have Hitman Pro, but it says the Trial has expired. Is it worth subscribing to??
