XoftSpy Review
Great Piece of Software
|
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Extensive definitions list (detects alot of spyware), scheduler
Too pricy and CPU resource demanding.
I am quite surprised at how bad some of the ratings for this product are. It is quite expensive unfortunately, but it is very effective and does a good job at removing spyware. It detects alot more spyware compared to other free anti-spyware software out there like SpyBot: Search and Destroy. It is unfortunate that it is priced at $28 since it is not much better than the above mentioned software.
It does a good job of removing the spyware and is quite user friendly. But it is quite slow at scanning and takes up alot of RAM so it can slow down your computer significantly during the scans potentially even causing a crash if you continue to do other activities.
Good features include that it allows you to schedule the scans so that they happen at a specified time automatically and an ignore list where you can specify what programs to ignore, i.e. not detect as threats.
Its very CPU demanding like I said it can be quite hard to abort a scan once it starts. All in all, its not worth the moeny because free software is available out there which is almost just as good!
