Test for Anti Spyware programs

There is Eicar to test virus scanners, is there anything to test your Anti Spyware software?

Also.....are there any opnions about ParetoLogic Antispyware?

 

There is a trojan simulator that Magnus(the developer of Trojan Hunter)made a few years or so ago.

ParetoLogic Antispyware?
Sounds familiar.
Got a link?

BOLD my emphasis,maybe.....

 

What about Spycar?

BTW, I don,t think u can test ur AV, AT or AS whatsoever with some simple tests.

 

The link: http://paretologic.com/

Downloaded Trojan Simulator and unzipped the archive and 'yes', trojansimulator.exe was detected and dealt with by Avira Security Suite (RC1)......isn't that great? Way you go Avira!!!

 

ParetoLogic=XoftSpy.

I don't care for it.
It's not a very good program IMO.

 

Any suggestions for a 'good' anti spy program?

 

If you are looking for free antispyware programs you are looking at scanners that update.
The full version will cost $.
AVG Antispyware,A-Squared,and SUPERAntispyware are all good programs.
They do have Pro or Personal full versions with real-time monitoring.I'm using these 3 free scanners.

I also like Counter Spy.The version 2.0 is in beta.That should be a very good program when it is released after beta.The resource usage has been lighter.Nice program for later.

*edited for spelling.

 

Thanks for the tips!

 

No problem.
