Hi i installed SpyHunter4,and i think it is really a very good security program.?

spyhunter has always had a shady past... it used to be listed on spywarewarrior's list of rogue applications, "because of the company's history of employing aggressive, deceptive advertising." it was later delisted but it was given the following comment: "SpyHunter, at least in its current state, cannot be recommended because of its mediocre performance as an anti-spyware scanner.

Enigma Software Group, owners of the SpyHunter brand, make the claim: "Our suites are built to address the need of privacy protection and computer security. We empower internet users to take control over their computers against Spyware, parasites, SPAM, and others obtaining your personal information online!" Ironic that they claim to take on miscreant advertisers, when their own ad campaign tries to trick users into thinking they are infected. Check it out. The ad looks like a DOS window, allegedly scanning and finding spyware, then ends with a warning, "Unable to Remove Items" and instructing users to "Click the OK button to Remove Items". When that is done, a fake "Severe Virus Alert!" is presented, warning that "New Software may have been installed in your PC without your consent. This software will do activity such as switch your internet homepage, launch excessive pop up advertisements. It can also monitor your Keystrokes and be used to steal your credit card information and passwords." The fake alert then advises users to install the "free" SpyHunter. Of course, SpyHunter isn't free - if it were to actually detect something, users then have to pay for removal. Tests of the product indicate its spyware detection is extremely limited, capable of detecting only a tiny percent of spyware. Ironically, the parent company of SpyHunter is Enigma Software Group. The definition of engima: "One that is puzzling, ambiguous, or inexplicable." Indeed.

I love this thread here ... speaking with Alvin J. Estevez, President and CEO of Enigma Software Group

MysteryFCM does a great job of giving that CEO a new azzhole

so yeah.... a load of crap...

go to any real security site and look at the tools they tell people to use... you'll NEVER see anyone in the business telling you to use spyhunter

i think SpyHunter is like Norton at the face of the world : a dark object .

I tried install SpyHunter -paid-and it found the same threats of free scanner,there are no lies.

it's fast and safe,no problem with the OS.

Anyway,SpyHunter is approved by West Coast Labs -Check Mark Certification,and other Research Security Labs.

It is actually a load of junk. Never reliable. I ope when you say you have Malwarebytes and others you ave not been using more than one active anti-virus. If you do, they can conflict and see each other as attacking te machine and blck them. That reduces security by up to 60 %.

Spyhuner has an aggressive network for prompting its product, which also contain misleading info that could trick innocent user into downloading or installing spyhuner, thus you guys had better avoid the software.

And, check out this how-to if you have trouble uninstalling Spyhunter 4 and/or any other unwanted software on your computer: http://www.windowsuninstaller.org/forums/viewtopic...

spyhunter is quiet good, but i think malwarebytes is better, too adwcleaner isn't so bad

Spyhunter is viewed as a rogue program by many, for good reasons.

Would I put any Enigma programs on my PC ? like Hell.
