Fast antivirus solution for home use


Most people are complaining of antivirus software slowing down their computers. They need a fast scanning, reliable antivirus software that will not miss the new virus threats and of course an integrated shield protecting their system from further infection.

This time I'll present you the new free Spyware Terminator antivirus program.

After playing with it here are the results&features of Spyware Terminator that I found:

Has a light easy to use interface. Virus scanning is fast, program virus definitions are updated daily. It is reliable and could be used together with ClamAntivirus. Spyware Terminator program executables take around 15mb of computer's memory. Compared with Norton Antivirus, BitDefender, Avast, Kaspersky(KAV) and Nod32 the program takes smallest amount of computer's memory.
Its integrated real-time antivirus shield is good functioning and actually stops virus infections. The program catches objects (spyware, adware, trojans & viruses) that both SpyBot and AdAware are missing.

For advanced users:
Spyware Terminator has a deep and easy explainable database of processes running on your computer allowing you to choose and keep only the ones that you need.
When using the full spyware and virus cleaning - it will be done using the free integrated antivirus ClamAV. Hint: If you experience that your computer has become slower than before just disable the ClamAV shield and you'll be fine.

After the full spyware and virus scanning Spyware terminator enables its unique HIPS protection.
HIPS is short for Host Intrusion Prevention System - which maps the local files on your hard drive. Then if a unknown virus is found the antivirus easily restores the infected file without damaging it. Don't worry the whole mapping will not slow your computer or take lots of hard disk drive space.

Also a nice feature of the program is that it manages and uninstalls easily the resident(remaining in computer's memory) viruses or trojans even the one spawned from explorer.exe without a need of system restart.

After each cleaning you'll see that Spyware Terminator creates a clean windows restore point. This allows you to get your system back to the time when the computer has been in a good shape.

In case that you found an unknown adware, virus or a trojan you can send the infected file to the spyware terminator labs for an examination either with the application itself or using their website forum. In a few weeks the updated definitions will be released with your problem fixed.

Important: Deep file scanning
I recommend you to do a monthly deep file scan with SpywareTerminator & ClamAV and an option checked on detect alternate data streams. This way ST will scan for hidden files in the NTFS file system. The scan could take a while but it's worthy of discovering hidden rootkits and spyware on your system.
HOW to enable: Go to Settings->Scan Settings and check the option Scan Alternate File Streams

Playing games, installing software:
If you switch the install mode you'll receive less notifying pop-ups from the application when installing a new trusted software. When done switch back the install mode.

Don't forget: After downloading and installing, please update program's definitions.
I can recommend this software to people that want to have a fast free antispyware/antivirus scanner& schield.
