CounterSpy Fights Spyware


One of the biggest Internet myths is your identity remaining anonymous when surfing online. Not to burst your bubble, but not only are you leaving identifiable footprints on every website you visit, but these steps are saved locally on your own computer! (Yes, this means all websites you visit are recorded on your PC)

Luckily for us, SunBelt launched its own spyware detector that not only boasts a solid real-time protection, but also protects your privacy when surfing the internet. This software is called Counterspy, and following is an examination performed by 6StarReviews.

What’s new?

• The Spyware detector now offers a free downloadable demo, which not only scan but remove spywares.

• Newly added Rootkit spyware protection

• Faster scanning: the newest version now takes less CPU usage when scanning for spyware.

User Interface and Product Application

Using the spyware cleaner is an elementary experience, from installing the application to running our first scan. The beginner user will likely stay away from the advanced system tools settings, but otherwise the welcome screen is extremely detailed and straightforward.

The user looking to enable the real-time protection and in-depth scanning will intuitively know where to go as soon as the program opens. You can also analyze your latest scan, and verify if certain security areas of your system need your attention.

If this version scans faster than the previous, the latter must have been slow as heck, as our scan took more than 15 minutes and used most of our 1GB memory.

Remarkably, the scan found 100% of the spyware on our test machine (the first time in our spyware cleaners’ investigation). The real-time protection also gives you peace of mind, and the spyware detector updates itself as soon as your computer opens.
