One of the most thorough security threat scanners available.

There are a wide variety of threats that can invade even the most basic home computer network, let alone targeted attacks against corporate or government networks. In the current clime at of record-setting data breaches, hacking, Big Data trading, and ransomware attacks, no user has the luxury anymore of thinking they’re immune. The head-in-the-sand approach that “small time” users have previously employed, mistakenly thinking their information was not worth hacking, is foolish and misguided.

SUPERAntiSpyware Professional Edition is the one of the most thorough scanners available on the market today. The Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology is able to detect spyware, adware, trojans, ransomware, malware, and infections that other products miss.

SUPERAntiSpyware first launched in 2004, and its team has more than 40 years of combined industry experience.

Peace of mind

As such, a number of different user tools have been launched over the years, all aimed at giving users peace of mind while trying to combat the ever-growing number and variety of threats. There’s no shortage of antivirus, anti-malware, and anti-ransomware titles that work to keep you and your network safe. But what of the less obvious and less nefarious threats like spyware and adware? Tech-savvy consumers are no longer okay with having their computer activity tracked and sold, as evidenced by the rise of VPN use and non-history browsers like DuckDuckGo. Those tools are great, but there’s more that users can do.

Daily scans

SUPERAntiSypware is one highly-reviewed option that puts the power of blocking targeted tracking in users’ hands. It scans for threats daily and seeks out malicious titles that hide within your network, transmitting your activity back to the originator. Its own Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology is able to detect spyware, adware, trojans, ransomware, malware, and infections, as well as block the installation or re-installation in real-time of dialers, worms, keyloggers, hijackers, parasites, rootkits, rogue security products, and many other types of threats.

Single user interface

It’s not just about blocking or removing threats, though. This software also seeks out broken internet connections, desktops, and registry editing in order to repair those connections with its own tools. Both the threat detection/removal side and the repair side of the program work within a single user interface, that’s easy to navigate, packaged in a title that won’t slow down your computer.

Standout feature

One of the product’s standout features is its email interface. Users can opt to have the software send an email update every time it takes action or uncovers issues in a scan. Those same scans can also be scheduled for daily or weekly, and can be configured to run a quick scan, complete scan, or a custom scan for those with the know-how. Of course, the site’s help page contains not only a user forum to get instant answers, but also a comprehensive FAQ section with literally dozens of different topics in multiple help categories.

Forty years’ experience

SUPERAntiSpyware first launched in 2004, and its team has more than 40 years of combined industry experience. Its real above-grade feature, though, is customer service. At the heart of the software’s service model is the user’s ability to receive free emailed customer support for any issues that arise. The company offers a 30 day free trial of all of its products before requiring a licensing key in order to upgrade to the professional edition, and the free download is available here.
