![]() I think it's still safe to recommend Malwarebytes, as long as people change the scan settings to scan for rootkits. I haven't tried it on Win10 such as on my mothers laptop and I won't since I installed Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (the old v2 without issues) on that laptop. The link I provided states it works up to Win7. The others that are several years old I wouldn't even bother with, not even on this old WinXP Pro computer I'm using. By rare updates I'm referring to don't expect to see a new version for several months, maybe even a year or longer - that is as long as they actively support and develop it, however it's the only one from a big time antivirus vendor that still gets any sort of attention to my knowledge. There aren't really any definitions, as in it doesn't, won't, can't download any and the only update is when there's a new version released. Would you happen to know if it can handle Windows 10? The latest OS mentioned on the relevant Trend Micro webpage is Windows 7. Are you referring to program updates or definitions? You had mentioned that it has rare updates. I scanned with Malwarebytes and Windows Defender but they didn't detect anything, I then scanned with SAS and it detected the problem and disinfected the system.Īfter you mentioned it in an earlier post in this thread, I added it to a list for me to check out (which I haven't done yet). SAS is what I put onto my mothers Win10 laptop last month after Dell tech support's rubbish attempt to disinfect it using Trojan Remover (hadn't even thought of that product in like 10 years). Although I can't personally use it anymore on my XP system, something they updated in it maybe three months ago in a new version will result into a random BSOD when attempting to scan with it - just glad I never upgraded to the professional version as it would've been a waste of money being I can't use it. It still finds and removes junk that some other scanners don't. It really should get a name change in my opinion and be called an anti-malware. It's more in line of being an anti-malware nowadays in my opinion, although some YouTube reviews of it don't paint it as being any good I still think it's relevant. SuperAntiSpyware ("SAS") really isn't an anti-spyware removal tool anymore at least not in my thoughts, it's really an outdated name they're using on it. I don't think people have much need for a stand-alone anti-spyware anymore I don't think Super Antispyware will be around much longer either.
