It does an outstanding job of locating and removing malicious software. Pros Functionality and ease of use. It's very easy to run a general analysis, but has the flexibility to do more in depth analysis as well. Cons The user interface takes a bit to get used to, but that's to be expected for such a powerful and versatile utility Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Ceo Entertainment ### "Free trips but good luck canceling " 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 July 15, 2023 They make it obvious that the only way they will get your business is if you don’t take extraordinary effort to cancel. A quality product does not do this. If you want to cancel a quality product makes it easy because you would not need to cancel. Pros I like nothing about it. They would not load and support does not answer. Cons They claim it is a feee trills but they are only interested to charge you the $42 for 3 months. $168 per year. They do NOT provide a cancellation option when you sun in to your account. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros What I like the most about this software is an easy way to eliminate any malware that I currently get on my computer, and is always on my Deskbar ready to use. Cons Sometimes misses some malware on my computer and I feel there is not full-time protection.

MT Marius t. Admin Computer Software ### "Good software. Needs more work" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 January 27, 2021 Overall it was good. The software works. It is not very demanding on the PC. Finds things that other anti-virus systems don't. Pros It is good software. It found stuff that my regular anti-virus software didn't BUT none of these things was actually a big problem. Mostly cookies, adware, and stuff like that. There are several nice and slick things about it. Cons You can't scan a file individually. I was very surprised about this fact. I contacted support and they confirmed it. I am not willing to scan an entire partition in order to find out if a 5MB file is suspicious or not. Not sure why they didn't figure this would be an extremely useful feature but they didn't add it. I can easily do it with my main anti-virus suite. The price is high for what it offers. I decided to try it and see if there's anything fishy on my PC. There wasn't. Doesn't make sense to pay for 2 anti-virus systems or have them take up valuable PC resources.

LS Lance S. Attorney Law Practice ### "Bologna" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 September 12, 2018 LOSERVILLE Pros It didn't blow up the world. That's about the nicest thing I could say. Cons It did NOTHING that it said that it did (for free). After waiting forever for the scan, it agreed to fix "privacy" issues for free, but insisted upon a substantial fee to fix the malware (which is NOT how it is advertised--"can fix this malware for FREE!!!"). So much of a waste of time I sought out this review page to help others. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Owner/Broker/Administrator/Educator Real Estate ### "My computer had slowed down due to so much malware, etc. I decide to give SpyHunter a go." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 15, 2017 They wanted to charge me and I tried to leave the site. Up popped a "special" amount. I couldn't resist it. Pros It scans daily and removes all ads and malware... I especially like that it removes the pesky PHP invaders. Those are harder to remove. Cons It sometimes pops up when I don't want it to "scan". I'm just learning how to live with it and use settings.
