spyware terminator

what do you guys think of spyware terminator compared to Malwarebytes

[byte_king]

Not sure if you can really compare the two, as spywareterminator is for spyware, while malwarebytes is for malware.....

[byte_king]

Nevermind, I'm looking at spywareterminator and it does detect malware haha.

I've never used it....but it looks like a very cool program

I have tested it before and while it is free and dose run in the background, honestly it won't catch 1/2 of what Malwarebytes does either in scan or real time protection.

I've tried it to. Horrible on performance. Superantispyware Pro does very well. Has a yearly subscription, also offers a lifetime license.

I used it for years and still am a resller but recently I have found Malwarebytes to be more effective. I do like the "repair tools" in Sas and the more flexible scheduling though.

MBAM is coming out with some more finer scheduling. I've done some beta testing with it. They really stepped up a notch. Although most of the time if mbam doesn't find anything, I can count on sas.

That's good to know and I agree on Sas as well as I normally use both on an infected pc.

Version 2.3 of Spyware terminator is good, although system bootup was a bit slower with it.

But the HIPS function is quite good.

Spyware detection rates not up to the mark, SAS and MBAM are way better.

The latest version is buggy, freezes computer too often.

Not the best...Used it once to get rid of the cookies

[krisgeek]

Does anyone know of a freeware HIPS software similar to Spyware Terminator?

Same here. Majorly decreased performance. Also detected call of duty as a trojan. I read that it's already been reported on their forums. More problems then any other software that I've seen. Not aware of any other free software with HIPS. Although Online Armor has a program guard and Comodo has defence++, but I wouldn't trust them.

I used spyware terminator and did not like it at all. No comparison to MBAM.

OA's program guard and Comodo's defence++ come with their firewall, since i already have NIS 2010 i cant install another firewall

I have tested that program many times, including about a month ago. I never saw it as system drag but it was about 1/2 as effective as Mbam or Sas and that is what I have always found with it.
