Pop-ups everywhere, or a browser home page that keeps changing by itself? A scan can look for the spyware, adware and hijackers behind it. SuperAntiSpyware checks the whole system or a scope you choose, then lets you remove suspicious files or place them in quarantine.
Choosing a scan
The scan options let you match the search to the problem. A Quick Scan checks a narrower set of locations, while a Complete Scan examines the system more broadly. Custom Scan lets you select particular folders or drives; Critical Point Scan focuses on locations commonly targeted by malware.
For a focused check, select the folders or drive where suspicious activity began. A full-system scan is the broader option when the location is unclear.
What happens to detections?
After the scan, SuperAntiSpyware presents suspicious files for action. You can remove them or quarantine them, keeping them apart from ordinary files while you decide what to do next.
The program also includes options to modify Windows Registry entries and repair damage attributed to malware.
Threats it looks for
SuperAntiSpyware searches for spyware and adware as well as dialers, trojans, browser hijackers, and other malware. Its Process Interrogation Technology looks for hard-to-spot threats such as rootkits and kernel drivers, and the built-in SUPERAdBlocker blocks ads and removes tracking cookies.
