System Requirements
Effectiveness
Max Secure Spyware Detector performed well in rigorous testing. Its comprehensive database can trace a majority of spyware rapidly. Upon detection, they are quarantined. This disables the spyware for immediate protection, while you can later review and permanently remove these files or restore them if they are essential for desirable applications. Advanced blocking features block ActiveX, Browser Header Objects, and Tracking Cookies. You can also block undesirable websites. In a spyware removal effectiveness test, Spyware Detector detected more than half the spyware thrown at it and disabled all of them. It completely removed 45% of the total spyware list, including some obscure strains. This places it in the first tier of spyware removers. However, the software doesn't offer a popup window or toolbar blocker. Live updates are available.
Updates
A live update module updates the spyware database frequently, as often as daily.
Ease of Use and Installation
The program has an instinctive feel to it and provides an attractive user interface. Installation is uncomplicated and the main options are easy to spot. The main window prominently displays buttons for scanning, quarantine, file recovery, exporting, scheduler, and real-time shields. Interface issues have been resolved with each version. Scan times are fast and effective. On a clean system, a quick scan is performed in less than a minute and an initial full scan took around quarter of an hour, with subsequent ones completed in under two minutes. Daily or weekly scans can be scheduled or you can perform them manually.
Pros and Cons
Rapid scan times are Spyware Detector’s biggest plus. Its performance in spyware detection and removal meets expectations but does not exceed them.
The software offers minimal protection against spyware installation. The interface can use improvement. Support is offered only through email and live chats.
