Spyware Terminator: Best Free Anti-Spyware for Netbook

Spyware Terminator is a very good anti-spyware program for your netbook. You can install it and forget about spyware threats, as you have an effective real-time anti-spyware protection with automatic live updates on. It scans your computer for known threats and then reports you back in a very easy to read way. Every entry in the report is given a rating and a classification, which helps you easily decide if the detected item be removed or not.

Spyware Terminator also includes an open-source antivirus, Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV), for optional integration to achieve a higher level of security. ClamAV can be integrated into spyware scans, updates and the real-time protection. Although a very good feature, but ClamAV does not offer any memory resident antivirus protection. Hence, you should not consider Spyware Terminator as an alternative to any standalone antivirus program like AVG, Avira, and others.
