Let's review Spyware Terminator's advantages and disadvantages and find out how this program is different from others.
Advantages:
Spyware terminator's interface is clean, clear and good looking. See it's screenshot here.
Unlike most free antispyware this application includes real-time protection, scheduled scans, HIPS. It also includes antivirus. So this program offers good overall protection for your computer.
Spyware Terminator is very flexible, which is good for experienced users. It gives lots of options to manually customize the protection of your computer.
This application has a good indepth scan, which scans entire file system, hard drives, processes, registry and memory.
Disadvantages:
Spyware Terminator's flexibility can be good for an advanced user, but at the same time flexibility can confuse inexperienced users. The program pops up lots of alarms with various levels of threat. If a person doesn't know much about computers he or she can start just allowing all actions or blocking all of them. Both are ineffective. So this is not the program that we would call "easy for all to use".
While the level of protection is good, this application still misses some threats, known to other antispyware. It finds most of them, but not always everything. Lots of antispyware perform in the similar way, that's why it's recommended to use more than one application to find, block and remove spyware.
