See readers comments above. On awards, they put any "Uniblue Awards" e. Editors Choice.. Caveat emptor. Shalom, Steven Avery. Dec 9 at pm Copy Link Like. Van Swofford I recently bought Registry Booster from them and discovered after the purchase that it is set up as an automatic renewal in a year. If you don't contact them to terminate the renewal, they'll bill your credit card automatically for a renewal a year after purchase.
I didn't find any mention of this on their website. According to information I found in the process of cancelling the renewal, this also applies to Spy Eraser. Cheers, Van. Dec 10 at am Copy Link Like.
However, it should be known that Uniblu just sent me an email that Spy Eraser will be discontinued and they will no longer be producing security programs like this.
It's somewhat disconcerting that this was abruptly announced and at the same time this product is still all over the internet for sale. Dec 4 at am Copy Link Like. Jun 8 at pm Copy Link Like.

PC Tools announces the launch of the latest release of multi-award winning Spyware Doctor, Version 5. PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5. Its disappointing finish was primarily due to its lackluster performance at detecting malware samples: The program missed almost one in five samples, for a poor catch rate of 82 percent. Trend Micro did somewhat better at proactively detecting unknown malware using one-month-old signature files, but even here, its 43 percent detection rate was the third-worst showing.
On the plus side, the program installed smoothly, was easy to use, and includes good default settings for the average person, such as an automatically scheduled full-system scan. The software provides a user-configurable scheduled scan and checks for definition updates every 3 hours.
These defaults are a snap to change via an intuitive and smooth interface that will appeal to even the most nontechnical user. One particularly useful feature scans for known Microsoft product vulnerabilities. If a machine is missing an important security patch, for example, the application guides the user to Microsoft's Windows Update site to download and apply the appropriate updates and patches. Also, Trend Micro's product stands alone in being unable to launch a manual file scan through a right-click within Windows Explorer, a weakness that the company says it will remedy in future updates.
Because it's a dangerous online world out there and protection is everything, periodically run multiple spyware detection products one after another. Run SpyEraser 2, then store the report. Run AdAware, then store the report.
Compare reports. Kill every detected item that all three products agree on. For the rest, go to one of the many spyware forums online to help determine what is legitimate and what is not. I know — it could turn into half an hour or more of effort for something which you'd think should be automatic by now. Maybe all the extra effort is over-the-top for people who don't visit fishy sites and who don't open unknown email attachments, but we advise caution with respect to all things related to adware and spyware.
Keep in mind too, that most properly secured and regularly maintained Windows PCs usually produce completely clean spyware and virus scans. Deep scans with SpyEraser 2 operate at average speed.
