Features

Active Protection: tracks the execution of every program and alerts you if a program being started is a potential threat. If a suspicious program is detected, the option to prevent the program from running is given. Active Protection can prevent the spread of spyware and even protect your computer from being infected in the first place.

INAC Startup Manager: provides an easy-to-use method of viewing and controlling which applications load on Windows startup. Remove unnecessary programs to shorten startup time, free memory and improve PC performance.

SpyShield: help identify new spyware threats by submitting anonymous scan results. This directly results in improvements to the Spyware Nuker XT database signatures which in turn helps to better protect all Spyware Nuker XT users.

Improved Interface: Spyware Nuker XT includes a streamlined and easier-to-user interface. Commonly used scan options are now present on the first screen rather than buried in the Options dialog, the scan results are easier to manage, and an easy-to-read HTML scan report is available.

Our Test

Spyware Nuker XT anti-spyware was tested on a PC running a recent install of Windows XP. The program download was 6.7 MB and during the installation process we were given the option to sign up for a newsletter. The newsletter offers announcements, user tips, new features, and technical support. Sign up is completely optional and you can skip it if desired.

Once installed, the program interface is straight forward and easy to navigate. On the main screen, users can choose which folders to scan as well as the scan depth. We did the default “Quick Scan” which detects common infections.

The program scanned our “Progam Files” and “Windows” folders by default. The scan took approximately 4 minutes and successfully detected 3 items that needed removal.
