SUPERAntiSpyware 5.0 limited Pre-Release

[Dieselman]

Thanks for the feedback - the bottom line is just as stated above - you need more than one solution - SUPERAntiSpyware will often find things MBAM (or others miss) just as MBAM (or others) will find things SUPERAntiSpyware misses - we receive over 30,000 samples per day - no one can catch everything and no one ever will.

So for those that say "MBAM is bad" or "SAS is bad" (because one found something the other didn't) should realize you need more than one product at all times - SUPERAntiSpyware + MBAM is a great combination and used by professionals worldwide.

Well said..................Both are free so why not use both. Just like Norton may find something that Avast misses. Or Avast finds something that Norton misses. Same concept. Hey Super..................Will there be a portable version so I can add it to my toolkit?

Using 2 separate Malware apps, is OK. I certainly wouldn't recommend using two resident antivirus programs.

Never said that bob now did I? You are older so you cannot tell me that you have not seen someone come in here and say "Avast sucks. I got a virus and Avast could not remove it. So I uninstalled Avast and installed Norton. Now I am virus free". Same goes over at the Symantec forums. No where did I say running 2 anti viruses together.

My statement was that I would not recommend running 2 separate resident AV's
I didn't say you recommended it.
We all also know that there is no such thing as a perfect AV since all of them
react to something has already occurred.
Someone is always the poor person to run into a new infection for which there isn't yet
any cure.

I Think this is the portable version that there is right now. http://www.superantispyware.com/portablescanner.html

That is NOT portable version 5. I am already aware of that version thank you very much.

Exactly. Drivers and services are there... Shame...

Hey SuperAntiSpy..............I know you are a SAS developer and I see you over at Wilders but why is SAS Core necessary to run on a 64 bit OS? I hate adding processes and services to my system. The first thing I did was set it to manual. Both MBAM and HMP do not need a service so why SAS?

HMP and MBAM won't be able to completely access the system from a limited user account, especially in 64-bit Windows 7 - modifying tokens, etc. really doesn't fly in Windows 7 64-bit, so without a service you can't properly perform those actions - what does that mean? That means there will be situations where products won't be able to access system items and detect and remove them....

[Dieselman]

Well I never remove malware under an LUA so still why is the service needed? HMP has a force breach mode. Hold down control while opening up HMP and it will kill malicious processes.

We also do other items under the service that are proprietary - but it helps with removal when the system start.

So what your saying in a nut shell is that SAS needs this service to effectively remove malware on an infected system? Correct. 

Well running a service on a non infected system is not necessary. I can kill any malicious process with SASCore.exe.

What I am saying is the SUPERAntiSpyware is MOST effective with the service running. I am not sure why people feel the need to disable parts of a product - the SASCORE.EXE users no CPU and little memory - why not just leave it running?

[Dieselman]

Why not leave it out. Most advanced pc users such as myself DO NOT want unneeded or unnecessary services or processes running. I am not creating an argument but this is just how I feel. If HMP and MBAM can be effective at removing malware without the need to run a service then SAS should be able to do the same.

BTW...........Will there be a portable version 5 coming out?

What you are not understanding is that MBAM and HMP (unless they are run as ADMINISTATOR) cannot be as effective because they can't access parts of the system and processes - the same with products not being native 64-bit.

Fortunately 99.999999999% of our users don't tinker with things and SUPERAntiSpyware will perform to it's best on their systems!
