DragonBlogger Review of ByteCrusher SpyDefy and Registry OptiMax
I am always looking for new anti-spyware applications and decided to try the trial version of ByteCrusher SpyDefy to see how well it fared, I am using Avira Antivirus and wanted to see if SpyDefy could find some spyware not caught by Avira. I downloaded the program and ran the installer. When you start the program it recommend being run in “Administrator Mode” so that it can have higher permissions to scan and clean out your system. This was reasonable if you want to scan and clean everything so I enabled the Administrative mode for the application.
Once it ran the program proceeded to download the latest updates and spyware definitions. The one thing I noted is that it took several minutes and didn’t really have a status bar on how close it was to being completed. Also it required a restart of the application when the updates were completed which was inconvenient for first installing it.
When it finally reloaded it started scanning and it was blazingly fast, within the first 2 seconds it found 2 spyware infections on my system. By the time it was finished it had found a total of only 2 infections out of like 400,000 files. Which wasn’t so bad as the only two infections found were tracking cookies from certain websites, no actually infected malware or trojans on any files in my system.
The program has a really good shield feature showing you how it protects against threats and spyware, internet, registry, process, startup and browser are all some of the protections it offers. It even has an exclude list so you can tell it not to scan certain files and processes. The program offers 20 scans and fixes off of the trial license and I encourage you to give it a try, ByteCrusher SpyDefy is very easy to use and worth seeing it it works well for you.
Now, I also decided to try the ByteCrusher Registry OptiMax product to see how well it would clean up my Windows Vista registry.
This program was shocking, I usually keep a pretty clean windows registry but I hadn’t run a cleaner in about a month. RegistryOptimax found 521 errors on just a quick scan of my registry. But where the product really shines is the level of details it goes into about every single error, it gives you some of the best descriptions of the problems I have ever seen from any product. Explaining why each registry item was flagged as an error so you can learn more about what types of errors are made in the registry.
See some of my registry errors:
Now the trial version only fixes 20 errors, so I couldn’t clean out my registry with the trial version, but I went to see how much the product cost and see it was $29.99 which is a reasonable price for a product in this range. ByteCrusher also offers you very good deals when you bundle several products together including RegistryOptimax, SpyDefy and Norton CA Antivirus you can save $60 or more by purchasing the products as a package instead of individually at local BestBuy or Fry’s Electronics stores.
Whether you are looking for a new Anti-Spyware or registry cleaning program or not, both the SpyDefy and RegistryOptimax Products from ByteCrusher have easy to use interfaces, 24×7 phone support and seem to do a good job of finding problems in your system. I have used other types of freeware and spyware, and think the user experience tends to be a little better and easier with the ByteCrusher products.
