Awesome software I've been using for 5+ years. Ignore any negative comments, they are comical. This software has even been discredited by competitors - as they KNOW it is FAR, FAR better at detection and removal. If you suspect your computer has something, but other competing security applications find nothing, try this one - it'll find it. It digs very, very deep unlike EVERYTHING else. This is THE BEST on the market, hence the price, but by all means waste your time on other 'mainstream' security software that just doesn't get the job done. Listen to this review and the other by Joseph Tyree, we are both talking from a good amount of experience.

@20-20 you tweaking on this review chain. I had an impossible to find malware that no other service could find and get rid of. until i dropped the bag on the spy hunter subscription. It instantly got to work and not only did it find and remove a malware that no other service could get rid of. it also has showed me so many other security flaws in my browsing and has helped me make smarter decisions online. 20-20 If you cannot afford 72$ in 3 months then you are either a toddler on their parents computer or just a 0IQ slob with no job. Take the hate somewhere else because you know absolutely nothing about tech and its honestly embarrassing to watch someone be so confidently wrong.
