Designed by ParetoLogic, XoftSpySE is one of the most popular of
anti-spyware products. There are many claims made about the
product, and as such we thought we should purchase it, and put
it to the test. There are normally positives and negatives
associated with an sort of spyware remover programs, so we
wanted to know how XoftSpySE stacked up against the rest.
Features - In addition to the basic sorts of
features you would expect from an sort of good anti-spyware applications, XoftSpySE also
comes with many value adding features and functions. There is a
feature within the program that allows a homepage to be set to
see off threats of browser hi-jacking that comes with many
forms of spyware.
XoftSpySE has one of the most
thorough scans available, and will scan though the Windows
registry, selected files and folders, and processes.
Additionally is also possible to schedule the program to scan
at some future date, eliminating the need to manual start a
scan. This is a great feature that ensures that a computer
remains free of spyware and adware.
There are a further two features; the ignore list and also a
back up list. The ignore list allows identified problems to be
ignored from future scans and repair. The back up allows a user
to delete files, but also t recover them is they subsequently
find that they were needed for some program to run as it
should.
Ease of Installation - XoftSpySE has one of the
smallest download files of any spyware remover, and consists of
just a 2.8mb download. Once downloaded, the installation will
commence after the license agreement has been agreed. After the
installation has been completed XoftSpySE can then be run
immediately.
Support System - ParetoLogic has ensured that XoftSpySE has
some of the best support network of any spyware remover around.
Within the program there is a very comprehensive help system
that provides all the details necessary to ensure that every
aspect of the program can be worked, even by a computer novice.
Within the accompanying website, there is also more details
including the most frequently asked questions about spyware and
XoftSpySE.
Appearance - We have taken a number of screenshots
designed to show just how professional XoftSpySE is and how easy it is to
navigate around. You do not need a computer degree in order to
navigate your way around the program, and a scan can be started
with a single click.
