SUPERAntiSpyware is one of the quickest virus scanners on the market and is an essential weapon in your arsenal of virus scanners.
Scanning
Before scanning, always check for updates.
To run a scan, go to scan your computer and select which scan you would prefer. Complete scan is the best way to go here, because quick scans dont find everything.
If you are trying to check a specific file for a threat, you can either use the custom scan option, or you can right click a file or folder and select scan with SUPERAntiSpyware.
Once you have made your selection, click next.
The scan will begin, searching through the memory, the registry and files. When the scan is complete, click next to remove any threats that have been found.
