a-squared Free
a-squared Free was suggested as one addition to Spybot S&D in the constant war against the nasty things trying to get into our computers. It was suggested particularly as an anti-Trojan but the blurb states that it will protect against Trojans, Spyware, Adware, Worms, Keyloggers, Rootkits, Dialers and other malicious programmes.
Downloading is straightforward and the whole system is simple and easy to use.
A Quick Scan took about 10 minutes and revealed nothing. A Deep Scan took about 90 minutes and turned up seven items of "medium risk" adware, which Spybot S&D did not find, and were then removed very easily.Nothing has turned up since the initial scannings.
I have used it for about 3 months so far and have made regular updates.
CONCLUSION 1.I have none of the above nasties present (hopefully).
2.I have some of the above nasties present but this system does not pick them up(hope not).
Either way I feel that this is an additional layer of security.
