Portable Anti-Spyware Program

In one of my previous post I told you how to install PortableApps onto a flash drive and all the features that comes with it. Now my one and only complaint is that PortableApps does not come with an Anti-Spyware program so you can clean those extremely annoying spyware programs that cause repeated pop-ups, poor performance of your computer and put your personal information at risk. Well... have no fear, I've found the perfect portable Anti-Spyware program.



SUPERAntiSpyware is great, tried and tested on many computers and I fully recommend it. Besides the fact that it's free, and I love free programs, it works like a champ. Cleans off Spyware better than many paid for programs that I've used in the past. Simple download SUPERAntiSpyware from their website, they even gave the file name a nondescript name so if you're already infected with spyware then those malicious programs won't notice and block it.



Move the file directly onto your flash drive, for ease of use, put it on the same drive with PortableApps. Open the file directly from your flash drive and you'll be greeted with the welcome page.


Go ahead and click to start and select from the many different languages for your personal preference. Then you will see the control panel after you select your language.


You should always check for updates before running a scan so you've get the most out of SUPERAntiSpyware. Since you'll be running this from a flash drive all your updates will automatically install to the drive where the program is located. After that Scan your Computer, as a general rule always perform a full scan on your computer.


Notice the dot on Perform a Complete Scan. Now it will take some time, mine took 26min, to scan your computer. It all depends on the size of the hard drive and how much information you've got on the drive.


Once it finishes you'll be shown another screen listing out all the spyware that was found and be given the chance to clean them off your computer. On one hand I wish I was infected so I could show you a picture of cleaning your system, on the other hand I'm always glad to get this message.


Although I could not show you step by step how to remove what SUPERAntiSpyware found it is very easy. Just click OK to review what was found, make sure that all items are checked to be removed then clean infected files. There ya go, easier than baking a pie and in less time.
