SpyCatcher Express 2007 4.5.2 build 51

Publisher's description of SpyCatcher Express 2007

SpyCatcher Express protects all Web surfers by providing a safe and advanced antispyware solution. Free Scan. Free Removal. Free Forever. SpyCatcher Express protects against next-generation, mutating spyware and puts users back in control of their PCs. SpyCatcher goes beyond traditional signature matching by incorporating a three-pronged method for threat detection (profiles, behavioral analysis and contextual intelligence) to ensure cutting-edge protection. Competitors typically use one detection model, preventing them from blocking mutations and the latest threats. DeepDefense prevents the installation of rootkits, removes aggressive spyware, intercepts all API calls and blocks reinstallation of aggressive spyware. Tenebril's Spyware Research Center provides detailed information on files that are deemed suspicious. Suspicious programs may be new spyware, mutations of known spyware or legitimate programs behaving contrary to their purpose or missing vendor tags.

Version 4.5.2 build 51 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

  SpyCatcher Express 2007

  Not the fastest, can have false positives but can also clear remaining garbage.

  by: GezaGabriel on 11-Mar-2008 06:51:12 AM

  Pros: You can check what the program found (all files or registry keys, just select a name and click Traces...), which is very helpful feature: you can also check whether this is a garbage or a correct application. Once the application found a malware, it'll list it and you can click on the spyware's name which will load a browser window with informations regarding the file (page is located on their server).

  The removing is correct and it can detect spyware garbages which were left behind by other removers (so, those didn't do a perfect job).

  Many cool features, such as function to stop keyloggers, rootkits, etc.

  Cons: False positive/not 100% correct identification for LogMeIn: identified as "Remotely Anywhere" (as Remote administrator so just my 2 cents). Small delay in boot. The Free version can't install updates automaticly :(. Some times the application got a grapical glitch (can see texts first, and after an activity, i see the program interface). Bit slow.

  watch out!

  Pros: it finds things but ...

  Cons: if you use this on a notebook it has been known to recognize your keyboard as a keylogger. one you delete this keylogger you no longer have a keyboard. this has a lot of false positives.

  by: darthvador365 on 16-Mar-2008 06:01:08 PM

  Pros: Quick Scan - I guess

  Cons: There are MUCH better anti-spyware free programs out there.

  Powerful Product

  by: AcidBladeWar on 26-Apr-2008 12:38:00 AM

  Pros: This is an antispyware product with a future. It has high detection rates and advanced heuristics which add to it's detection capabilities. There is also free real-time protection in the free version. It is not heavy on resources like others say. Saying this is heavy is saying that SpySweeper or AVG is heavy because they use about the same amount of ram. Very solid antispyware protection. According to Download.com tests, SpyCatcher was the best at detecting spyware, detecting everything thrown at it.

  Cons: Sometimes the update might make the program stop responding. There aren't updates very often either. Usually there are only 1-2 updates a week, but Tenebril makes up for this by adding thousands of signatures on just 1 update. The program is also a bit slow at starting up, but that to me isn't bad enough to say that this "damages my system", because it really fixes it.
