Advice Request Seems odd. I explain below

Hi,
Why is it i can do a scan with the free SUPERAntiSpyware, and as soon as it's finished and i remove what it found and do another scan right away, it finds 1400 or so new issues? The previous scan only 20 minutes earlier found almost the same amount of issues. I get the impression that, sometimes, it just "says" it found 1499 issues when there are "maybe" no issues, really, and it does that just to ensure me (us) that it's doing something.

So, how does SuperAntiSpyware find 1400 or so issues, clean those issues, and without me even clicking on a browser, i immediately do another scan and SuperA.S. finds another 100 or so issues?

Sometimes, after the second scan, it reports that there are no issues, but it usually finds more issues when i scan the second, and even a third, time in a row without me clicking on a browser.
I would like to know why this happens
It's confusing me.

Thanks

The program you are using has a poor malware detection rate to begin with. I would not spend time troubleshooting that piece of software
and use something more reputable.

We don’t like:

• The program generated a lot of false positives during the testing.

Norton power eraser would probably do a far better job.

I agree with @The_King SAS was very good back then to 2008. Not now.

And i notice that, lately, it takes FOREVER to clean what it finds. When it finds 1400 issues, it cleans quickly until it reaches 500 or so, and then it SLOWS down to a snail's pace. It was faster before.

Uninstall and you won't have those problems anymore. As @The_King already said, there are way better options than SuperAntiSpyware. Try Norton Power Eraser, ESET Online Scanner or Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool instead.

In addition to what @SecureKongo said, I'd add Dr Web's CureIt. It's always helped me when I work on systems, and it's regularly updated.
