Spyware & Virus Removal Utility That Detects

Review by polarvista: every time I log into vista under a different user, an error pops up stating that only one instance of the AV can be run at a time. What's the use? I can't tell other users to make sure they shut it down when logging off!! If they don't then the next user is causing the system to be unprotected. other than this, the AV worked until last week when the update crashed system! cpu at 100%? used system restore to fix. errors pop up saying files in AV are corrupt and need updating? would like to get rid of it now but after reading the other posts, that might be a nightmare!

I checked all of c: to make sure it was completely gone and only found one other folder and it deleted fine. I hope it works foe you guys also.

My computer is shutting off without cause, when it does boot back up, I go to log in via windows and tells me it's unable to let me in, even as the administrator. There's nothing else on my computer to cause this, it's less than a month old and I haven't downloaded or installed any programs that are web based until today, and have had nothing but problems. It wont let me uninstall, it gives me a runtime error, and past that, when I called their customer service they were less than helpfull telling me I need to provide a screen shot, but I'm not hooked to wireless internet on my lap top which is ha...

Review by liz: this software questions EVERYTHING!!! I even lost my I-Net connection & had to spend several hours allowing registry keys to be restored via the Shield Deluxe 2008 pop ups. What's most frustrating is you CANNOT uninstall this program easily. (3/5 - 12-Nov-2007)

Review by Pete: Not really a free trial. After looking for spyware it says you must purchase it to remove the spyware it has found. It said it had found 61 infections on my computer, but once you look at its listing these 61 were realy only three. It had counted the multiple registry entries for each spyware as separte infections. As you cannot test it fully without purchase, then you canot really tell if you should use it or not. (3/5 - 26-Jun-2006) Review by rock: I think that this program is installing the spyware which people are finding. Have drive imaged and updated several times and the only program to update is spyware detector. Scan afterwards finds cydoor and a bunch of others. (1/5 - 17-Jun-2006) Review by Kim Rozell: Max Secure Spyware Detector found spyware that Webroot, Ad-Aware, and Spybot missed! I bought it and am very happy with it. I won't submit another online credit card order without running this software first! I purchased 5 other spyware programs and they all fall flat when put up against this product. (5/5 - 17-Nov-2005)
