The old database version was displayed again after the restart. I was not able to find the database files which could mean that they are loaded to memory only. Install? At least the program directories in the user folder are created or modified (the directory could have been a leftover from a previous installation, today's data was however displayed as the creation date.). The check for updates button works and will install the latest definitions on the system. This may be a technicality though.Ībout updates. The program after download displayed a definition database version of 6608, an update brought that to 6636. The download page states that the program comes with the latest definitions, a quick check revealed that this does not always have to be the case. The program is offered as a com file, probably to give users the chance to run it if malicious software blocks exe files from running. The main difference is that the portable version can be run right after download, and that it keeps everything in memory.

The two versions are identical in features, with a few exceptions.

SuperAntiSpyware Free is offered both as an installer and portable version. The professional version on top of that adds heuristics, the detection of threats that are not yet known and included in the program database, and additional options like scheduling, automatic updates or real time blocking of threats. It detects all existing threats just like SuperAntiSpyware Professional. The free edition can scan all drives, the memory and files on the system. The program is offered as a free and professional edition. SuperAntiSpyware is highly regarded in the security community, and more than 30 million users should speak for that as well.
