The connections we make are to our, and domains - our servers are located in EV1Servers facility. Our new version has a built in "Report False Positive" option that will send us the file from within the product. In the Free Edition, we have the splash screen stay up for 3 seconds just like McAfee, Ad-Aware (while it loads), and many other products - you can click it and it goes away immediately - we don't allow this to be disabled in the Free Edition, that is correct - you are getting a 100% anti-spyware scanner that took thousands of hours to create and takes thousands of hours to maintain to keep ahead of the spyware/malware/adware - surely we deserve to have some brand recognition from our product.ĭid you do a rules update before scanning? All false-positives should have been eliminated many weeks ago - if you can send me the files to nicks at I will immediately update our rules to not detect those items. You can also disable the update checking in the start-up wizard so it won't do any connections unless you ask it to.
Superantispyware download fail install#
The new version which will be available by tomorrorow (Friday, Ap12 noon, Pacific Time) does not install the icons on the desktop and prompts before making any Internet connection. Please let me know if this clears up the code injection issue! Applications such as Yahoo Messenger use hooks to determine when the sysetm is idle, for instance. You would be amazed at how many applications used these hooks - they are provided by windows to allow programs to perform tasks such as we use them, but, like anything good - it can and has been exploited by "harmful programs". We do this so if the user clicks a valid link in those programs Super Ad Blocker does not block the link by mistake. that host Internet Explorer, but don't load our plugin (called a Browser Helper Object). SUPERAdBlocker ( ) which also contains a version of SUPERAntiSpyware, does use what is called a "system hook" that is used ONLY to detect mouse clicks and keyboard clicks in applications such as Outlook Express, Yahoo Messenger, etc.
Superantispyware download fail drivers#
We have kernel drivers that exist to handle rootkit style infections that have to be dealt with at the kernel level. SUPERAntiSpyware does not inject code into processes at all. I will be happy to clear up the "code injection" question/concern.
