You may not "feel" them while working on a computer, but malicious software are there. If your system is not protected, they can turn your system upside-down and your work may grind to a halt. If you notice subtle changes, like a different home page on your browser, new toolbars or if something crashes, this may be a sign that your computer is infected. It is also a sign that you need to protect your system. Advanced Spyware Remover is a fast and effective solution and you can install it on your computer in a few minutes. It performs thorough scans, removes unwanted programs and it also protects you against future infections.

Besides the fact that Advanced Spyware Remover can be downloaded and installed fast, it is also 100% free. You can run it without any problems or restrictions in Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 and there is no need to worry about any conflicts if you already have an anti-virus software installed.

The software features a compact and very easy to use interface. Its different sections may be accessed with the aid of navigation buttons on the left edge of the window. The first one will display an overview of what features have been activated or not, when the last update was made and others. A button, labeled Scan Now, will start a scanning process immediately. Like in other similar software, the results, along with their details, will be displayed in a list, where you can select and remove them.

There are three types of scans to be found in the interface's Scan section. A smart scan will check only the critical areas of your system, a full scan will search for malware in the whole hard drive, and a custom scan will let you choose what drive to scan. Regardless of which one you choose, they will all work the same way. Advanced Spyware Remover also provides constant protection against spyware and other malicious programs. Besides a protection against known threats, you can also activate one against unknown security threats, based on the behavior of applications. To conserve system resources, this feature will only target high level threats. As for the rest, you will have to perform regular scans.

Additional features can be found in the Tools section. A hijack scan will be appreciated by advanced users who know how to manually remove a virus. It will open a new window, with lists of running processes, services, startup programs, Internet Explorer settings and more. They can be accessed separately with the aid of hyperlinks on the left side of the window. Processes or services can be killed, startup programs removed, settings can be restored to default and so on. This is a good way to undo some of the damage made by a malicious program and then hunt it down. Normally, a suspicious file can not be deleted, unless you run Windows in safe mode. Another option in the Tools menu will unlock and delete a file of your choosing. All you have to do is specify its path.

Advanced Spyware Remover also features a disk cleaning tool. You can use it to perform a privacy sweep, which will delete the saved history, cookies and other temporary files left behind by Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, the system itself and other applications. Other junk files can be deleted from a different section of the cleaner, and you can access it with a navigation button on the left edge of the window. Before deleting it, the software will scan for the selected items and it will display them in a list. With so many features and the fact that it's free, this software is an ideal solution if you need to clean up your system in a hurry.

Pros

Advanced Spyware Remover can scan your hard drive for malicious programs so that you can remove them. It also provides some useful tools for manually removing a suspicious program and undoing some of the damage it made. Overall, it is an effective tool against malware and the best part is that it's free.

Cons

Although you can find a Change Schedule option in the Scan section, there are no options to set up a schedule. Advanced Spyware Remover provides tools for both advanced and novice users. Its powerful features will clean and protect your system with great efficiency.
