The majority of infections that have been quarantined can be restored at a later time for example. You can customize Spyware Doctor to either remove or quarantine malware items fixed in a scan.

New in this release:

- New Spider Scanning Technology (patent pending)
Spyware Doctor is pleased to introduce its new innovative Spider Scanning Technology (patent pending). The technology promises to significantly reduce scanning time (in some cases up to 25%) and produce more threat detections. The spider scan works intelligently by using a combination of signature and behavioral scanning techniques to quickly and effectively identify spyware threats.

- New Rootkit scanning
Along with the "Hidden process detection" feature (which blocks rootkits at the kernel driver level), the latest version of Spyware Doctor now adds an additional layer of rootkit protection by incorporating a new rootkit scanner. Spyware Doctor is now fully capable of detecting and removing hidden processes associated with complex threats and rootkits. Such threats are otherwise difficult to remove by conventional means since they may be hidden to the operating system.

- New ADS detection & removal capability
Some nasty types of spyware have the ability to attach themselves to ordinary, harmless files through "Alternate Data Streams" (ADS). When this occurs, the item of spyware is hidden, and the harmless file appears unchanged to the user. Spyware Doctor now has the ability to detect these types of nasty threats which hide themselves in ADS.

- New Malicious KL (Kernel Level) Process killer
Spyware Doctors" new "KL Process killer" technology detects, kills & removes malicious processes which operate at the Windows Kernel level. This enables Spyware Doctor the ability to stop troublesome processes from running that either hide themselves or attempt to restart upon termination.

- New GUI (Graphical User Interface) features
Spyware Doctor"s GUI has been enhanced with a new system status area that allows users to easily distinguish which parts of the program need updating or attention. For example, if a smart update is available for download, the GUI will have a red alert; with information advising the user how to perform the smart update. The new GUI also includes support for the Japanese language, along with new proxy & domain whitelist configuration tools (in the settings area).

xp-AntiSpy 3.96-2 Print ArticleEmail Article

*The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication "features" in WindowsXP.

For example, there"s a service running in the background which is called "Automatic Updates". I don"t know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute?

This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known "Suspicious" Functions in WindowsXP. It"s customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended.

Changes in Version 3.96, 6/10/2006 :
- Connection limit now can be applied also to 64-Bit systems
- Added settings
- Restrict anonymous network access
- Disable network crawling
- Allow uninstallation of the Windows Mediaplayer
- Disable the indexing service
- Do not generate Lan Manager Hashes
- Disable WGA check at logon
- Added symbol reference to the "?" menu
- Fixed some minor bugs
