We have been very patient with Lava-Soft in getting the new 2007 version working smoothly, but it just seems that it is not going to happen. I have fielded several complaints and many questions ranging from...how to use it -to- how to speed it up, and still we can not offer any new answers.
Along with these issues pertaining to the function of Ad-Aware, I have discovered advanced malware that does not get flagged/removed by Ad-Aware or Spybot Search & Destroy, my two favorite protectors of 2006.
In the year 2007, some of the malware (and their creators) have advanced in their techniques and so, we must do the same to counter their actions.
Personally, I have spent years researching security software programs and have tried just about everything out there. So, I have decided to annouce the "replacement scanner of today" that will, without a doubt, protect your machine!
Right now my machine is running Windows Defender and CounterSpy v2.5...with NO OTHER malware protection. Yet, I know I can roam the web hunting for malware, and rest easy knowing that I am protected. Why not surf trouble-free and gain more of your time back in the process?
Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy v2.5
Improved Active Protection(tm) performance:
CounterSpy's Active Protection has been improved to deliver better, overall system performance while continuing to provide robust real-time protection for users' PCs. Several performance-tuning programming techniques have been implemented to reduce Active Protection's already low system resource requirements.
Support for Windows Vista 64-bit:
CounterSpy now adds to its current 32-bit support for Windows Vista full support for 64-bit versions as well. Additionally, CounterSpy also supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 SP1 and higher.
VIPRE technology:
CounterSpy's hybrid engine merges spyware detection and remediation with Sunbelt's VIPRE technology (Virus Intrusion Protection Remediation Engine). Because VIPRE incorporates both traditional antivirus and antimalware techniques, enhancements have been made to CounterSpy's underlying architecture that will enable advanced delivery of software and definition updates.
With CounterSpy, you can run a "fully-functional trial version" for fifteen days. By offering you this trial, Sunbelt is willing to prove to you how good their product is without asking you to spend a dime. That is true confidence that most software companies do not have in today's malware world. Even when you find a free trial, it is locked from removing anything or showing you any results...until you pay. This is not the case with CounterSpy!
Another advantage of Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy v2.5, over the others out there, is the "automatic everything" functionality, which will give you active protection while freeing you from the troublesome task of checking for updates, applying them, and running the scanner each day to remove the malware.
