Free Anti-Malware- Anti-Spyware for Businesses

Spyware Terminator is available to businesses and private users through open-source. PC Virus Doctors uses the utility for a quick daily scan to get rid of stubborn tracking cookies that will not be removed through conventional means, through the operating systems and browser deletions.

Spyware Terminator may be configured with ClamWin so users can have extra scanning signatures.

Benefits of Spyware Terminator:
  • Quick scans actually do perform quickly and thoroughly
  • Configurations may be set for "Live-Time Protection"
  • ClamWin may be integrated into "Live-Time Protection"
  • Licensed for Business use through open-source
  • Easily configured even for beginners
  • Users can quickly change configurations within a short learning curve
Negative Aspects:
Minor annoyance but it does serve up ads when looking at the configuration but does not serve up ads any other time; this said, ST seems to take up little resources, a positive.
It never hurts to have an extra spyware, malware remover in the toolbox especially if it is compatible with other malware scanners which in PC Virus Doctors experience has been positive with no set backs at all.

Spyware Terminator is a great free tool for businesses to double check with other organizations, albeit open-source or paid vendors of virus scanners/signatures.
