Adware Removers Online

CounterSpy Review

Another anti-adware/anti-spyware product is out in the market and this time it's the Counter Spy 2.4.1040 from Sunbelt Software. If you already have a PC that is contaminated with adware and spyware, then you may need the Counter Spy to find and eliminate harmful adware and spyware from your system.

Counter Spy will then alert you when more spyware will try to enter your system so that most of the common types of spyware can be blocked from entering - nipping them in the bud so to speak. Those parts of your PC that are the usual targets of malware can be protected as well so that your settings are not open to hijacking. Other ways that malware can harm your system are to change the HOSTS file, amend your home page, and integrate new menu items � all these unwanted effects of malware are said to be preventable if you have Counter Spy on the job. Counter Spy then gives you the option of either simply imposing quarantine on the offensive programs or you can delete them altogether.

Counter Spy contains tools that will allow scheduled scans, automatic database updates, advanced system settings, complete deletion of any harmful files, and elimination of Internet tracks. You also have the option of staying in touch with other Counter Spy users so that you can learn from their spyware experiences (and horror stories.)

Counter Spy is categorized as a form of shareware so you can get the free trial version at the start. Afterwards, you can opt to buy the for-pay version which costs $19.95 each. You can use the Counter Spy on the following Windows operating systems: 98, 2000, 2003, ME, XP, and Vista.

One magazine that tested the Counter Spy V2 version considers it as the #2 anti-spyware product on the market but Sunbelt Software says that you get excellent value anyway from the Counter Spy V2 because the #1 product on the magazine's list is almost twice as costly as the Counter Spy V2. Counter Spy is made even more powerful against the strongest malware threats around because it now has the VIPRE Anti-Malware technology built into it.

With the Counter Spy V2, even the most stubborn or hard-to-remove malware can be rooted out effectively so that the user can never be bothered by them again while Counter Spy V2 is on the job. VIPRE is short for Virus Intrusion Protection Remediation Engine which is actually a combination of previously used Anti-Virus technology and the most advanced anti-malware systems known. This helps you prevent the intrusion of viruses and malware so that your system stays free of threats.

It gets better - Counter Spy is supposed to be the sole anti-spyware product found anywhere which relies on FirstScan technology to initiate the search for and removal of stubborn malware even before your Windows OS loads.

Freeware that aims to act as anti-spyware and anti-malware just cannot cope anymore with the advances in badware technology, so if you choose freeware to eliminate your spyware and malware threats you may be getting a bad deal even if it is free. Try investing in a great product like Counter Spy so that your system is protected and stays protected from malware and badware threats.
