AVG Anti Spyware Review

AVG Anti-Spyware, formerly known as Ewido Anti-Spyware, is a powerful spyware and malware remover, which efficiency and consistency are highly entrusted by most security experts. The program provides superior real-time protection and tough parasite detection engine. Such combination makes Ewido Anti-Spyware one of the most remarkable security products on the market.

The program scrupulously checks the Windows registry, running processes, web browser cookies and the entire file system. It implements heuristic analysis and unique techniques to detect unknown threats. Furthermore, it can scan for malware inside Zip, RAR, Cab and other archives, setup files, compressed executables and certain system components that most rival products never check. All this allows AVG Anti-Spyware to detect the most sophisticated threats that even some anti-viruses cannot find. The program uses an extensive parasite definitions database updated on a daily basis. At present it contains over 462,000 known pest signatures.

The application's scanner offers five scan modes: Complete System Scan, Fast System Scan, Registry Scan, Memory Scan and Custom Scan. All of them are relatively fast, but require quite a lot of system resources. Fast System Scan took about 5 minutes to complete, Memory Scan required 1 minute and 30 seconds, while Registry Scan completed in 5 seconds. The slowest and most resource-hungry mode is Complete System Scan. This scan requires up to one hour to complete.

"I know next to nothing about computers but I managed to install AVG by myself - it's really very simple. [...] I now feel totally protected and I know that if I need anything I can rely on them to help."    - Roland Delvaux, Pensioner

AVG Anti-Spyware realizes a real-time protection monitor - the Resident shield. This monitor terminates malicious processes, scans files on execution, automatically removes tracking cookies and prevents unsolicited software from being secretly installed. The Resident shield can also block termination of AVG Anti-Spyware.

The program comes with additional useful tools. Shredder is designed to delete files selected by user unrecoverably. Another integrated utility, Antispy, allows modifying critical system and software settings. Ewido Anti-Spyware provides detailed, but yet easy-to-understand descriptions of these settings. Antispy can be configured to show only recommended settings, but also supply some expert options.

AVG Anti-Spyware provides even more additional tools. It offers integrated utilities for listing running processes, viewing system startup entries, current network connections and installed browser plug-ins.
