Registry Cleaner Geeks

User Interface

It is important for any spyware blocker to sport a nice and intuitive interface to allow even the ones who do not have much computer knowledge to solve their adware frustrations quickly and easily. XoftSpySE does away with the menu bar and plants a nice column of buttons that resembles a navigational bar of a website. All the options are there and easily accessible making XoftSpySE great for starters.

Reliability

An adware scanner isn’t all about detecting as many adware as possible. What is also important is the way the adware is dealt with whether it gets removed right away or if complicated measures need to be taken. Like other virus scanners, XoftSpySE has a nice quarantine feature where suspected adware can move to. This is useful in case false positives are detected and need to be recovered without obtaining the file elsewhere.

Flexibility

Some computer users may be too busy to fire up their adware scanner and wait for everything to finish. With XoftSpySE’s scheduling feature, XoftSpySE can run in the background and automatically perform any necessary operations based on the user’s chosen time. This is a welcome feature that gives XoftSpySE a few extra points.

Detection

XoftSpySE has great detection abilities and what makes XoftSpySE so superior is that it can detect spyware, adware, worms, and even trojans as well. The best thing about the detection capabilities is that XoftSpySE manages to perform full scans faster than many of the popular adware scanners.

Accuracy

Usually programs with excellent detection rates end up catching more false positives as well. XoftSpySE is no exception and it’s a normal thing. But the quarantine feature is present and false positives can easily be brought back and ignored in the future so you just need to train it a little a bit to get the best results.

Stability

It is always annoying when adware scanners end up crashing in the middle of a scan. Since XoftSpySE manages to perform operations much faster than others, XoftSpySE ends up to be a stable solid program as well.

Support

XoftSpySE has an interesting support page on their website that has links to different kinds of support. While technical issues aren’t dealt with by e-mail, a generous “Live Chat” can be found on their support page and is available 7 days a week on working schedules. That’s impressive for an adware scanner.

Overall

XoftSpySE is really a powerhouse when it comes to adware removal. It manages to remove all kinds of adware, spyware, and some other forms of malware very quickly and has a nice updating feature that can give you new definitions every day. The interface is pretty accessible for any user to get into and virtually nothing bogs this program down making XoftSpySE an excellent recommendation to anyone looking to combat adware quickly and easily. However, the fact that it does not work on Vista makes a huge dent in our ratings. You can download an evaluation copy or visit their website below.
