Absolutely 100% improvement over build 2.5.1043,with a lot better & easier g.u.i and the biggest problem that has been Sunbelts bugbear - the updates - has been addressed with outstanding results , two minutes to download and merge the definitions from zero to the current [which also checks every two hours now by default] Along with integration into Windows Security Center a lot quicker scanning times , and of course excellent removal of malware/trojans etc. including boot time scan to kill rootkits for a mere $20 dollars [after a 15 day free fully functional trial if you so desire] this has got to be the best value security software on the market , period. Try it today - you won't be disappointed.

I hate people who rave about a product because it caught ONE malware item, or who slam a product because it missed ONE malware item. There is no product that catches everything.
As far as CounterSpy goes, I found it to be about as easy on my system as Crysis.

You alls can rate it a 5. I'll rate it a 4. Vipre blows this out of the water. However, with Vipre, you would need to uninstall your AV. This is only a AntiSpy program (AS).
So if you have no Anti-Virus software, or Anti-Spyware program on your computer, then I suggest Vipre. The protection on their software is set at a high-level, though I would still say it's a joke.
Before Vipre, I used Avast!, also a highly aclaimed Anti-Virus program, along with Counterspy. CounterSpy missed a back door Trojan, that Avast! took care of. That is why I am very sceptal about their software. But alas, I went vipre.
If you don't heed my advice, you could be spending over $40 dollars. Still I am impressed with Vipre.
Enjoy...
Peace...

Great Product.
Pros: Very high detection rates, frequent updates.
Cons: When getting updates it can slow your computer and require restarts.

I own this product and it came off my system, because it slowed things to a crawl. I can do without the constant interruptions.

Wow, I'm a webroot supporter, I love Spysweeper, and to hear such dis... from others is different. I guess what they say is true, to a point. I use Spysweeper, and funny it doesn't slow my system down. But then again I don't have all the filters turned on. I only have Net and mail turned on, which makes spysweeper work more quickly with my computer. Though I do have to admit, the scan process is slow, and the updater is horrible. I like what I am hearing about this product. Suppose I'll try it. Sounds trust worthy enough for word of mouth recommendation.

CounterSpy is the best on the market. It has caught more culprits than any of the others that I have used. Has lots of options such as System Tools which is a Great Utility Tool. It is light on resources. Does not slow your machine down like SpySweeper and Spyware Doctor. I just renewed my subscription for 3 more years. Definitely #1. If you doubt my word go to http://download.com/counterspy and see for yourself.

Great anti-spyware... Needs a free version with no realtime so it doesn't kill my computer... Or the final better be alot lighter than 1.5 before I download it again.

Horrible software.It runs more resources than zone alarm.If you try to shut it down,it keeps popping up in the tasks list then it crashes your explorer..
ballyhairs reviewed v1.5.82 on Sep 7, 2006
Its one of the best, mostly because it DOES delete whatever it detects, this and hitmanpro everyone should have as anti-spyware softwares.
