Comparison of 6 free and effective antispyware’s!

Two engines to fight threats: real time protection and the scan module

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is one of our favourite programs. Why? Because it offers two modes of protection. The first of these prevent threats from accessing your machine as Windows is launched remaining permanently active in the memory (32 MB of RAM) monitoring files and web sites in real time. The second, which can either be manually run or programmed, is the scan tool which provides three different options. The quick scan looks at the system files, the full scan at all files on the drive and the clear scan which is only available in the recorded analyse version which looks at the memory and "autorun" elements. The visual interface is completely adapted to Windows 7 and will pose no problems to novice users.

There is nothing that Malwarebytes Anti-malware can’t detect and eradicate!

If you encounter an issue with your machine due to a malicious program, virus, Trojan horse, spyware, advertising program or rootkit, then there is a good chance that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will be able to help you out. Threats are automatically moved into the quarantine zone, allowing you to check if these are false positives (right click on the detected file and select Exclude if it is a required file). The programs updates are automatic and frequent, with 344 625 signatures being present when we tested this program. The settings allow you to specify where scans should be conducted (elements in memory, Registry, file system, heuristic searching…), while you can also get a report created at the end of the scan to assist with the configuration with scheduled analysis in the future.
