- It runs faster than Spybot and it scans for many more items than Spybot. I've never ran across that big of a difference in what either found. I still use both though. Also run Adaware at times too, even though that is the least favorite of the 3.

- so will the final become freeware?
A-squared removes reliably:
* Trojans, Backdoors, Keyloggers, Rootkits
* Worms, Bots
* Dialers
* Spyware, Adware
The advantages to you:
- Frees your PC from Malware
Use the a-squared Free Scanner to scan your hard disk, remove all infections and restore your PC to maximum performance.
- Quarantine for emergency
Sometimes it is possible that the system may be unstable after removing Malwares because it already manipulated too much. Therefore it is recommended to place detected Malwares always in Quarantine first before removing it permanently.
- Daily updates for the best protection
Don't forget to run an online update before you scan your computer with a-squared Free. Note: The automatic update feature is only available in a-squared Anti-Malware.
- Exceptionally easy to use
Regardless of whether you are a computer expert or a beginner, you will quickly become familiar with a-squared Free. You do not have to be a specialist to free yourself from Malware.
New and improved features:
- Non admin support: The scanner can be run with limited rights now, but it is still capable of scanning all folders on the disk, because the scan functionality was moved to a Windows Service that runs with system rights.
- Vista support: a-squared Free now runs also on Vista 32 and Vista 64. Important note for Vista users: If you install the version 2.1 setup, you have to run a-squared Free with admin rights (Right click - Run as admin). Otherwise the updater will not be able to update to version 3.0 beta!
- Decreased memory consumption: The average RAM usage has been decreased for about 50%!
- New Anti-Malware Network: Detected heuristic files can be sent to the Anti-Malware Network for further analysis. This helps us to improve the scanner quality with the power of heuristics. False alerts can be quickly fixed and signatures for new malware can be provided much faster. You can choose to automatically deliver detected heuristic files (only heuristic files) at the update process, or manually transfer files via the quarantine. If you have a question to a specific file, you can enter a message and contact details to get a reply with a file analysis.
- Extended cookie scan: The new scanner scans all user accounts for Tracking Cookies instead of only the current user account.
- Extended Quarantine: Files can be manually added to the quarantine. Quarantined files can be saved to a specific folder, e.g. to send them by email, as zipped secured file.
