I used to use it as my Spyware protection, but I found it was incompatible with something I ran and so it would just use an entire core of the processor for itself. So I had to uninstall it.

It's a good utility, but if you find that it has the same issue, uninstalling it is the only option. I've defaulted back to Spybot S&D.

I'm doing some research before I post a query about Spyware Terminator!

 I was wondering how can you tell ST was using a core to itself?

Did you enable the Real-time protection, ClamAV and the Crawler Toolbar when installed the first time, what else was you using in the Spy/AV department?

Thanks, Speedee

Hi,

I used the Spyware Terminator real-time protection. ClamAv was used as a manual scan tool, not real-time and I didn't use the crawler toolbar at all.

I'm using it Spyware Terminator in the above form again as the incompatibility has been fixed it seems.

I think I was using Avira, Spybot aswell as Spyware Terminator. I had a few other tools, but they were manual scanners, not real-time.

Do you have Tea Timer turned On in Spybot S+D, as well as ST's real-time protection?

Yes. I use Teatimer. From Spyware Terminator I have HIPS and the real-time protection on.

EDIT: Just read your reply in the other thread.
If you don't want to use ClamAV after installing it, you can disable it from the settings page. It's stable and scans. I haven't used it as my real-time protection as it isn't aswell rated as other tools.

i use spyware terminator as it gets one of the best ratings for anti-spyware even against paid for software.  yes it is a bit hungry on the CPU's time but until another free program comes along that is better, there isn't much to beat it that is a real-time scanner
