CounterSpy does a good job with Active Protection monitoring changes made to your browser - in case, for instance, your homepage has been "hijacked" by malware. However, at the moment, it only monitors Internet Explorer. Most spyware issues, of course, are unrelated to this, and for the most part, if there's an intrusion, the program's new Kernel-based Active Protection will stop it or the scanner will clean it. If you choose to run CounterSpy manually, rather than under Active Protection, you must remember to manually update your risk definitions before scanning.
Testing this, I noted that it would occasionally stop during the process, although re-clicking Update Now got things going again. There's a monitor that logs your process, though surprisingly it seemed to disappear on occasion.
Also, after several months of running perfectly, that same "out of date" issue that occurred during installation reoccurred. The company says that the problem crops up if definitions get corrupted, which can take place when a download gets interrupted or a partial update remains in your TEMP directory.
The problem was easy to address: simply manually download the full definitions file from the online Support page. This overwrites everything.
It does takes a lot more time, however. By the way, although noted above that it's a good idea to have to more than one anti-spyware program, you should never run two in Active Protection mode at the same time.
Conflicts with anti-spyware programs are the rule. Run one "active" and the other manually. CounterSpy also monitors changes to your Registry, regardless of what browser you use. The company notes that it expects to add support for Firefox in the future.
While this will be a good improvement, it's surprising that they haven't done so yet, considering that Firefox has been around for a while. The program provides a "Manage" page that keeps all of your important information in one handy place, at your fingertips. Things like scan History, all your Quarantined items questionable files that the program has protected your system from, but without deleting, in case it turns out to be a "false positive," and you need it later , safe files that you always want to allow, and your scan schedule.
CounterSpy has made excellent improvements for his version 3. Even if you're comfortable with the old interface, the new version's speed, smaller memory use and rootkit protection are all very advantageous.
The "out of date" problem with risk definitions is an annoyance, but doesn't occur often and may not ever occur for some and is very easy to address. If you're looking for a change to a new standalone anti-spyware program, there are several good ones out there, but CounterSpy 3. Main Menu U. News U. Politics Joe Biden Congress Extremism.
Special Projects Highline. Recently I've been having major issues with my pc. I'll outline them and then list what i've done to try and solve the problem.
Issues: - on startup my internet connect seems to have issues aquiring network key? Or click 'repair'. Doesn't happen all the time though. Sometimes it crashes completely when I first load the browser window, and other times my links are occasionally hijacked. I've run all my spyware programmes in their out of date status and only really found simple tracking stuff.
Ran a Hijackthis and got rid of some more mostly simple stuff after analyzing the log and one potentially bad threat. Also tried CWShredder thing and nothing found. Did find a browser hijacker a few days ago, but removed it then and the problem persists.
I've tried uninstalling avg and others and reinstalling but no effect. At the moment I'm using firefox as it seems slightly more stable that IE, however it did go to a wrong hijacked link only ten minutes ago, so isn't totally 'right'. I'm debating a complete wipe of the system advised by my brother , but would rather solve the problem, not start from scratch.
Hope someone out there has experienced this and can help? I looked up the W32Bagel that I found as a suggestion on this site, but as system date is obv after 28 jan then it would seem to not apply.
