No mate its not , i wasted money on it and im making it my job to tell everyone i can , i made a comment about ot on cnet downloads site (user reviews for the product) and my comments have since completely vanished , strange that eh

The only time i really needed it , i was infected with some nasty malware and having allsorts of problems....did Ashampoo find it?? NO. Waste of money.

I ended up trying Prevx1 which found problem and removed it , ive since purchased Prevx1 but as im no expert its not up to me to recommend it....it is good though

One more thing Ashampoo has a guard patrol thingy that you can run in the background checking for threats "on the fly" , that doesnt work either and randomly maxed out my CPU.

That's bad. Sorry for you. My first impression on it was it is a good product.

[lodore]

mine to. thanks for your comments on the product.

oddly i have seen tons of bad reviews of f-secure on cnet download.com and they have been there for years. btw this isn't another nag at f-secure it was just to point out bad reviews happern to stay on cnet download.com and the people writing the bad reviews about f-secure seemed like they had two av's install at the same time IMO.


anyway other than superantispyware what do you people reccomend?

[metallicakid15]

i guess you can trial pestpatrol

If you look at the properties of Ashampoo AntiSpyWare's "engine.dll" file, you can see that it's from a-squared origin.
