Review Of Xoftspy Portable Anti-spyware

• If you ever had to use a bootable CD-ROM to perform some PC maintenance tasks (like eliminating infected files, cleaning the registry, removing "stubborn" files that would not leave the Recycle Bin) then you must know how much time it takes to prepare all the necessary files for burning, then the process of recording a CD, then restarting PC, then loading off the burnt CD& and each time you need to run a scan from a CD-ROM, you have to follow the steps again and again to update antivirus and anti-spyware signatures. With a U3 edition of XoftSpy SE, it takes about a couple of minutes to insert the portable drive into USB port, run XoftSpy program, perform web update (if there's one available) and you're ready to begin scanning. Absolutely hassle-free maintenance!
• A small U3 drive is certainly more convenient to carry, plus it can store all kinds of files, and updating is same as with any hard drive - instant.
• Durability. While it is easy to scratch the surface of a CD, USB flash drives are more reliable and protected against physical damage.
• Portable XOFTspy SE runs under normal Windows GUI, so you don't have to work in DOS-like environment preserved of mouse support. Great for novice PC users!

It is a very lightweight application that takes less than 10 megabytes of space on a USB drive (so even with a 512-megabytes U3 you can safely add XoftSpy to it). Desktop software can require up to ten times more space!

• XoftSpy can be run on a computer badly damaged by Trojans, adware, keyloggers and all kinds of pesky beasts. The software detects and eliminates all of them.
• There's a Restore feature that keeps backup of infected files and can be used to revert the cured infections to their original state. Hence, the registry change can be undone any time. Restore Profiles are created for every PC scanned by XoftSpy.
