SUPERAntiSpyware, or SHITAntiSpyware

[Stopspying]

If both of these are now outdated and useless, what are some alternatives?

Malwarebytes AntiMalware often gets well rated as a secondary scanner, I use it. Zemana Antimalware and their AntiLogger were well-rated too, though these are not so well supported now, but some still use it as an alternative scanner, both to confirm anything flagged up elsewhere, or as an alternative scan. Hitman Pro (Free to try for 30 days) is liked by some people on MT.

SAS added the Avira engine, it seems. Nifty thread about it:

Has SUPERAntiSpware partnered with Avira?

Never had anything against SuperAntiSpyware. Hope it makes a worthwhile comeback someday.

I didn't know about the Avira connection with SAS, thanks, must have slipped me by while we've been having some great summer weather!

ADWcleaner AdwCleaner - Free Adware Cleaner & Removal Tool | Malwarebytes and ADW Removal Tool Home - Adware Removal tool are two good ones that come to mind.

Both SAS and Spybot were sent to their graves around the launch of Windows 8. Neither are that useful anymore.

I've been using Spybot until recently, it never flagged up much but every so often it would alert to new "Browser Profiles" with long random names that would sometimes appear. It would offer to block these which I would always do. So without Spybot will these not be blocked and are they a risk?

"SUPERAntiSpyware should be your very first pick if you want to get rid spyware that's already on your computer. It updates often, installs and scans quickly, and gives you complete control over what gets scanned."

I hope this is noted by those knocking Superantispyware here!! 'First pick'!!!!

I won't be taking this advice too seriously!

hey, was this review of the free or pro. you said it offered you the pro trial on the free, but you didn't say if you took it or not. this is relevant, considering the pro has the AV engine in it, the free doesn't. i would be curious to see how well their AV engine does. (and i am wondering who they bought it off of, i'm wondering if it's bitdefender). they call the AV engine Pro X

edit: i see plat1098 said they are using the avira engine.
