Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Spyware, spybot, adware, and malware threaten computers and have become the number-one danger for PC users. These Spyware programs, unlike viruses, infect without any indication. Experts believe 90-percent of all PCs are laced with Spyware that tracks your behavior on the Internet, invades your privacy, and can easily result in identity theft.

Spyware X-terminator provides constant monitoring and protection for your computer while browsing the Internet against spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, trojans, cookies, key loggers, trackware, and other malware out there.

Spyware X-terminator will also scan, detect, and eliminate spyware, adware, and malware currently residing on your computer. With what may be the largest updated daily database of over 18,000 known forms of spyware, adware, and malware, our automatic updates ensure you are always protected against the most current and dangerous forms of spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, trojans, cookies, key loggers, trackware, and other malware out there. By scanning active memory (RAM), registry, system files, hard drives (local and network), primary and secondary storage devices, Spyware X-terminator detects and allows you to automatically quarantine and remove this Spyware from wherever it is hiding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product. 2bad though, that 1 product can't do it all., June 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: SPYWARE X-TERMINATOR BY STOMP (CD-ROM)

Okay, I've been fighting spyware, adware, mal-ware ,etc, for over a year now.
Started with Xcleaner, then added Spysweeper, now added
Spyware X-terminator.
[FYI, This product(Spyware X-terminator) appears to be
a re-labeled package of PESTPATROL.
Which is fine, as the price is CHEAPER when labeled as
Spyware X-terminator, than it is when labeled as Pestpatrol].
Anyway, as of now, June 2004, I can't find any SINGLE product that does it all.
I give Spysweeper 5 stars and I give Spyware X-terminator 5 stars.
Both are great products, but each seems to find a couple items that the other doesn't.
Personally, if you can afford it, I'd get both.
Mal-ware [including Spyware, adware, unwanted cookies, etc] has many ugly faces and you need to detect and destroy as many of them as you can.
Xcleaner was my very first anti-spyware package. But it is a multi-purpose tool, but doesn't have the depth of detection abilities that Spysweeper and Spyware X-terminator do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, May 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: SPYWARE X-TERMINATOR BY STOMP (CD-ROM)

This has to be the best spyware out there, ease of use and catches 100% of the pests that are out there. I have tried so-called freebies such as "spy-bot" and "Adaware" but theyre NOT in the same league. So i guess you get what you pay for.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Product - But Overpriced, October 10, 2004

By 

Stuart Gardner "www.sdgardner.com" (Fair Lawn, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SPYWARE X-TERMINATOR BY STOMP (CD-ROM)

This is a really good software product that catches a very high proportion of spyware. I work in IT security and would have to say this is probably the best at this task. Why a stingy three stars? User interface isn't the easiest to work with (very minor complaint it's not too bad) and price.

One of the previous reviewers mentioned his firewall wasn't stopping spyware - it isn't meant to. This package is just an element of security, it wont even catch all spyware (as a previous reviewer stated running more than 1 spyware detector helps - I would suggest running Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware SE. Spybot was written buy a German guy but supports many languages including English. Both are free - Spybot S&D does solicit donnations (do consider).

If you want to ensure good all round security (you will never get to 100%, if you do, you'll be rich!), don't get a false sense of security by runnning just one security program. Make sure you run:
* Virus Software
* Firewall Software
* Anti Adware/Spyware software

If you have cable / DSL use a hardware router (you can have more than one PC online and improve security). If you use a wireless router, enable encryption and the other security settings (see my homepage for a more detailed discussion of wireless security): http://mysite.verizon.net/stuart.gardner/id21.html

This is a small element of security at a high price (when considering NORTON and McAfee provide a complete suite for $50 pa). In combination, Ad-aware and Spybot S&D surpass this product - the same can be said for the Norton and McAfee spyware detectors.
