Scan And Detect Spyware And Suspicious Files In Windows

Hijack This is probably one of the most popular security tools to scan a computer system for spyware and suspicious files. It's rather cryptic reports makes it sometimes difficulty to distinguish between harmless and potentially dangerous files on the computer system. That's what the comparable software program Free Fixer tries to make better
Free Fixer will also scan various critical components of a Windows operating system including running processes, autostart entries, Browser Helper Objects or TCP/IP settings. The difference becomes obvious after the report is being displayed on the screen. Free Fixer will for example whitelist critical system files which means that they will not show up in the default report. This is done to decrease the number of entries that are displayed making it easier for the user to concentrate and analyze the remaining items. There is however no way of displaying whitelisted items in the application, something that the developer's might want to consider integrating in their security software program.
