Overview
What makes our spyware definitions the best in the industry?
When it comes to spyware software you want the best protection available. There are just too many invasive and malicious programs lurking on the web to trust your privacy and your data to a marginal virus product. At Ascentive we can say with confidence that our Spyware Striker Pro spyware application is among the best in the industry.
- Our definitions database incorporates leading edge definitions that can identify viruses as early as the first day they're released on the public.
- Our definitions database has outperformed those from McAfee, Norton, AVG, and Kaspersky in the independent flash tests conducted by The Malware Research Group in 2011.
- Our spyware detection library has been awarded the VB100 award from Virus Bulletin the last 4 quarters in a row, detecting 100% of viruses used in each test without a single false positive.
What is a spyware definition anyway?
Sure, everybody knows what a computer virus is...but what is a virus or spyware definition? Just like the definition you might find in a dictionary for a word or phrase, a spyware definition is a description of a type of virus, spyware, or malware that your spyware software uses to identify spyware on your computer. By running the various files on your computer through its spyware definitions database your anti-spyware software can identify and remove the spyware on your computer.

Features and Benefits
Find out what is lurking behind-the-scenes of your PC
Spyware and Malware threaten your PC every time you go online. Whether browsing the web, checking email, or downloading music, the threat of an invasive program is always looming. Virus programs catch the most common viruses, but often times new spyware and malware threats slip through the cracks. Even worse, the most common Adware programs that affect your PC are sometimes permitted by anti-virus programs mistaken for advertising software. Common signs for spyware, malware, and adware include a slower system start-up, error messages, pop-ups, sluggish Internet, and unknown shortcuts added to your desktop and browser.
Because anti-virus programs and firewalls can miss dangerous threats, Spyware Striker performs a deep scan of your PC to strike directly at the source. Spyware Striker quickly removes all the dangerous programs it found that may have slipped through the cracks. To find out what is slowing you down, run our FREE Spyware & Malware Scan.

FAQ
Why do I need Spyware Striker Pro
I already have anti-virus software, can I use Spyware Striker?
Why do I have to log in?
How often should I run Spyware Striker Pro?
How do I use Spyware Striker Pro?
Answer: The longer you have your PC, the more likely you are to have dozens of spyware and adware programs accumulated in various hidden corners of your system. These programs cause system slow-downs and instability by constantly running behind-the-scenes. The results of spyware and adware vary, but can include:
- Hijacked browsers
- Pop-up ads displayed
- Slow browsers & PC
- Reset home pages
- Changed search results
- Toolbars added to your browser
- Increased spam in your email’s inbox
Answer: Yes! Spyware Striker is used to find and eliminate harmful programs that have been found infecting your PC, especially dangerous programs that your anti-spyware software didn't catch. Most anti-spyware software has exceptions to let low-risk adware and spyware onto your computer, and often older anti-spyware programs can miss viruses that are new.
Answer: For our subscription-based programs, we require our customers to login before using the software to confirm the authenticity of the user. In other words, we need to know it’s you!
Answer: To put it simply, more often is better. You can have Spyware Striker Pro set to automatically activate every day at startup or you can manually run it when you choose. If you use the computer every day, the program should be run a few times a week at minimum. You'll be surprised at what you find.
Answer: After successfully downloading and installing your software open the program (click Start and scroll to Programs --> Ascentive --> SpywareStriker) and click “Scan Now”. When your software has completed its scan, click on “Review” to look over the found errors, and “Fix” to remove them from your machine.
