Re: CounterSpy users - opinions wanted I agree with you! It is one of the best Anty Spyware programs and the technical support is quick and corteous, and I can deal with an eventual FP every now and then as long as the program protects my computer as it has been doing.
I have it as my only Anty Spyware resident program.
I could also enable either the Ad-Watch or Tea-timer, but I have confidence on its real time prortection and thus I disabled the other two residents. |

I just heard from Anita. CS told me when I installed the latest version 1.0.29 yesterday that the definitions were up to date as of June 2, 2005. I didn't notice then that the version of the definitions was 144!! If I had noticed that I would have known they were NOT up to date, even though CS said they were, because I had version 144 back in March before I stopped using CS. CS needs to fix that misleading statement in the GUI as someone new to CS sure wouldn't ever catch that ver 144 of the definitions was not the current one! I finally caught it today only because Anita asked me to doublecheck the version of CS that I had and the definitions version because she said those Keylogger FPs I had were corrected in def. ver. 150.
So, I now have def. ver. 182. I ran another scan and all that was found was an adware FP that others are reporting that has to do with Mozbackup. It doesn't find even the Passport cookie now.
I am still having a conflict between CS and Fx though. But much less of a conflict than what I had with 1.0.26 and the problem may be Fx rather than CS. I run an older version of Fx and the latest version may not have a conflict. I guess I had finally better upgrade my Fx.

As to a conflict between Fx and CS I'm running the Fx 1.04 with no problems with CS 1.0.29.

I've been running CS for at least 4 months. The first week I had a couple FPs. Nothing since. It is my favorite anti-spyware app.  |

Well, I downloaded the trial version of CounterSpy and installed it. It didn’t take long to realize it doesn’t play well with Windows Me (as others have said). Lots of freezes and it couldn’t get through a complete scan without locking up. It also immediately gave me a false positive from its resident detection process saying my windows update file WUAUCLT.EXE was a possible a Trojan, do I want to delete it?. Yeh right. I also noticed it gobbled up a huge chunk of my resources – 20%! Time to uninstall.
So then I go to uninstall and find it has a sloppy uninstaller leaving behind a machine run registry startup item (SUNASDTSERV) in msconfig. After searching the registry and finding all kinds of entries left behind I decided this is where making a System Restore checkpoint before installing CounterSpy is going to pay off – and it did.
So much for considering this program. [Next…] |

| I'm surprised you had a problem with it with WinME. It has played very well on my machine. It does take a lot of memory if you use the resident protection. The new pre beta is another story for WinME but they are working on it.
