One important question

i just downloaded a year free licence of A-square Antimalware and i want to know how effective is this software at removing or blocking malware.
i never use it before,does anybody uses it and what are the testimonies?
thanks in advance for replying.

 

I'm currently testing it and, to be honest, I don't think you would need its real-time protection considering that you use DefenseWall and AppRanger. It's a nice addition for on-demand scans, though.

 

Check Jotti's. It never finds anything there.http://virusscan.jotti.org/

 

thanks.
ok now what about SUPERAntispyware?did anyone have any good coments on this one?thanks in advance.

 

SUPERAntispyware is the antispyware application that many folks recommend here. I am using the professional version as an on-demand scanner, only because I planned before to have an AV/AS/FW setup. But since I am using DefenseWall, I only use it for on-demand scans along with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

Do a forum search to see threads concerning SUPERAntispyware.

 

I have used a-squared with KIS 2009, and also with SAS. I did not have any issues. I must say that none of my AT/AM applications have ever found anything except cookies. They include a-squared, SAS Pro, and AVG 7.5 AS.

I use them, but I am not sure why, as I am convinced that a good AV will catch anything the AT/AM applications catch.

thanks again for replying
i will give SUPERAntispyware a try.

 

It's ok. I'v'e used it but prefer CounterSpy to it.

 

i see and did you try the most hated norton antivirus beta 2009
thanks in advance.

 

CounterSpy V2 would've been better had it consumed fewer system resources and used smaller definitions.

 

Both SAS and Counterspy are very good. Personally I prefer SAS.

 

You cannot always trust those type of websites
Look what I found a while ago in a similar website:

 

A-Squared is one of the best antitrojan/antispy: quickly updated, spreaded signatures, deep scan. And a good IDS, Mamutu. To use it other than the antivirus is a second option to guard your pc and to detect the threats. You can use it only with on demand scan, i.e. once in a week...
