Super Anti Spyware 5.6 Review
This review will cover my experience with Super Anti Spyware and basically picking apart it's cost of features. I am not here to judge the effectiveness of the programs detection rate, but I can tell you what it is I think this program is worth. There will be a video as well that you can watch just in case you do not want to read the entire review the video will sum it up. -Scott Hartley
Above is my video review of super anti spyware pro, but I was able to show you what you would not be able to use if you are a free user.
Free Users Only:
Free users will only get access to scanners. There are 5 scanners that you will have access to and they will all do something different.
Quick Scan: This will scan the files that are most likely to get infected cookies, temporary internet files, and some windows files. This is the most basic scan and is only used when you want to get rid of some tracking cookies.
Complete Scan: this scan will go through and scan every file that it has access to. There will be some windows files that it won't be allowed to scan for security reasons, but it will scan through everything in the quick scan and more. This scan should be used if you think that your computer is under attack by some sort of Adware, bloatware, or fake AV.
Critical Scan: This scan will go over the most important files on your computer most of the time it will be your system files (windows files) and it will scan everything that the quick scanner scans. This is used if you feel your main system has an infection and you are having a hard time trying to do basic windows functions.
Custom Scan: This scan will allow you to pick what files are being scanned most of the time unless you have a good idea what is wrong with your system then you should not use this scan type. If you are in IT then be careful because there have been people who scan the wrong files and they end up deleting something important from the system.
Rescue Scan: This scan you should not use unless your system is heavily infected. The reason is this will scan everything and has been known to be over sensitive this will also take a long time no matter what system you are on. DON'T USE UNLESS YOU ARE OVERLY INFECTED.
Professional Edition $29.95
You will get all of the above features and you will also get the listed items below.
Real-time Protection: This feature will actively protect you from spyware and adware from getting into your system. THIS DOES NOT REPLACE AN ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM. When using this you must remeber to have some sort of anti virus running and if it has a built in firewall allow the super anti spyware to go through. If not there might be a confliction despite what the SAS website says.
Automatic Updates: Basically does what it says it will automatically updates your software for you based on a time schedule of your own choice.
Schedule Scanning: You will get the ability to schedule your scanning. Not a whole lot to say about that... Schedule it at a different time from your antivirus software and make sure the computer is on at that time.
