What's new

v5.1 [Jul 27, 2008]
Enhanced Real-Time Proactive Protection — SpyCatcher keeps your computer safe between scans. Its continuous protection monitors your PC for any suspicious behaviors that are typical of spyware. SpyCatcher proactively stops any action from taking effect before your PC is put at risk.
Enhanced DeepDefense™ — This technology prevents the installation of rootkits, keyloggers, and other malicious programs safely. It intercepts all API calls, which blocks the installation of aggressive spyware. DeepDefense is embedded in the operating system and delivers the best protection from sophisticated new threats.
ClearView Application Control — This provides a detailed list and description of the applications running on your PC. Users can decide to allow, or block and remove any applications based on this information.
Vendor Tracking — Provides users with a list of certified vendors that have applications running on their PCs. A user can allow, or block and remove all software that was published by a particular vendor.
Installation Tracking — SpyCatcher provides you with a wealth of information on potentially unwanted applications. Users can allow, or block and remove applications more thoroughly so that no traces remain which could potentially harm your system.
Automatic, High-Performance Scans — SpyCatcher includes Quick, Deep, and Custom spyware scan options, which can be performed at regular intervals automatically or on-demand, according to a user's preferences. Scans use low CPU so it will not interfere with the performance of other PC programs.
User-Friendly — SpyCatcher has a new intuitive user-friendly interface. Beginner PC users can remove the most dangerous spyware easily. Experienced PC users can customize preferences and use the advanced application tools to suit their specific requirements.
No-risk spyware removal — Enables users to recover all removed files and programs that were previously blocked from running. This allows users to remove files with confidence and without the threat of accidentally deleting legitimate files.
