Max Spyware Detector

While surfing the web, you should always mind what sites you visit, if you don't want to infect your system with spyware, adware or other malicious programs. The best way to prevent such infections is to install a specialized antivirus program. Max Spyware Detector provides a good solution against spyware, adware and other threats. It comes with advanced detection and blocking capabilities, an active monitoring feature and much more.

Max Spyware Detector provides support for Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7 and Wind 8, as well as the 2003 Server edition. It works on both 32 and 64-bit operating systems and its hardware requirements are modest. Although the setup file is only 596 KB, you have to wait a minute or two until the program is fully installed, because the setup wizard will download the required components from the Internet.

The compact user interface displays a series of options, on a toolbar, for scanning the hard drive, cleaning up infections, scheduling automatic scans, managing USB security features, activating or deactivating various shields and much more. You may click arrow buttons, on the toolbar's edges, to reveal different sets of options.

If you wish to scan for infections, you can choose between three scanning methods. You can opt for a quick scan, which covers only the operating system's partition or a full scan, if you want to include one or more partitions or removable drives. Additionally, you can scan specific folders, on local or removable drives.

The program can run in the background, without hindering your work. During this time, its live monitoring feature and other security measures will prevent any infections. Besides Internet threats, Max Spyware Detector can also block spyware or adware from USB devices. You can set it to scan them automatically, when plugged in, and to block their autorun.inf files or everything. You can also prevent reading, writing or executing data on USB devices.
