Spyware Terminator 2.5.9.223 released

I know, there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in Spyware Terminator here, but I had good experiences with it in the past and they DO keep updating it. If you're using it then chime in

 

any changelog?

 

i love this hips part of SpyWare Terminator

 

I know that some folk are anti this because of Crawler's history,but I like ST personally and the HIPS component is rather good IMO.

 

I tried it for a while when it was first mentioned here.
IIRC, the scanner had a lot of false positives.

 

matt also tested ST againts 10 infected websites and i believe it blocks them all if i remenber

 

Has anyone ever tested the HIPS component of Spyware Terminator? It seems like a decent enough program, just unproven/tested.

 

the HIPS is quite limited when compared to other HIPS products people use, first of all, it doesn't have dll injection protection (not sure if they fixed it in this version) along with other limitations and the scanner is mediocre at best. i still wish ther was a changelog to see whats improved

 

It's tested by Matt Rizos at www.Remove-Malware.com - search his pages.

 

Here's the links to Matt's reviews:

Well if you set the real time shields to Advanced instead of basic anything that is not in the database will be asked for user input,


they hips works in the same fashion, do when DLL are change and or loaded HIPS will alart .

you can also change the shields so it ask for every input possible.



so until you really use the Spyware Terminator i wouldnt say what it can and cant do.

you can always find a change log here

it does work great and they are working on 64bit support and Windows 7 support due out this fall. Clam av can also be integrated for more detection.

 

When I tried it a few months ago, I thought the hips wasn't all that bad. I actually liked how ST knew that you were installing something and that it would switch back after the installation.

The way you're saying it now it sounds like it did this automatically (goes into Install Mode, restores normal operation) - that's at least not what I experienced the last time I tested the software, but it would definitely change my mind.

Thanks for any further info.

 

Yep. That's the idea but at the time I was using Avast and it had a problem when Avast did it's updates. It would think it was in install mode or something instead of a definition update. It bothered me so I uninstalled it at that time.

yeh i had the same ice, also about the installation detection, it doesnt automatically come on it just says; installation detected, do you want to go into installation mode
also what concerned me, it maybe just me but what are their motives... why produce a completely free product without a paid version....
im not trying to undermine a company but if someone actually knows how they are making money from a free product please say..

 

Ekk! This program doesn't really do anything except run those annoying pop-ups then you Spyware Doctor with Anti-Virus beats it. But neither is as good as what most of us here you. Just better off running Rising PC Doctor instead.
