>>
>> Super Anti Spyware and can be downloaded from the below link.
>>
>> http://tinyurl.com/2ugr3r
>>
>> Also below Ihave drawn up a tutorial on installing the software and
using

>> Note: Whoever is installing the software should uninstall the
>> "Ad-Aware
>> 1.06" software first.
>>
>>
>> Super Anti Spyware Software Tutorial
>>
>> Introduction:
>> When December of this year comes the software we have been using for
the
>> past few years which is "Ad-Aware 1.06" will be discontinued and
replaced
>> with the new "Ad-Aware2007" which is even more in-accessible than its
>> predecessor. I have been scouting around to try and find a suitable
>> alternative and I think I have in this application which is called;
>> "Super
>> Anti Spyware". There are two versions, a free version for the home
>> user
> and
>> a paid version for corporate users. The home "free" version is perfect
>> for
>> those of us who just want a good spyware detector and I think this is
the
>> one for us. It contains no ad-ware or spyware itself as some of these
> things
>> do and that was important when researching for something to replace
>> "Ad-Aware". We should still continue to use spybot but having both
> programs
>> on our computers is important.
>> (Installation)
>> After you have downloaded the free software from the link given you
>> now
> must
>> install it..
>> 1. Go to the location on your hard drive where the software package
>> was
>> downloaded to and press the enter key on it.
>> "You will be told to close up all other running programs such as email
> etc".
>> 2. Hit enter key on the next button.
>> 3. Next is the license agreement. There will be two radio buttons
>> which
>> you can locate by using the tab key. The default button is "I
disagree",
> you
>> must press the down arrow to the "I agree button". Now tab to next and
> press
>> the enter or spacebar.
>> 4. The next step will ask you for some user information. It is not
>> necessary to worry about filling in this section so just tab to the
"next
>> button" and press enter key.
>> 5. Now you will be asked for the destination folder where the
>> installation will install the software, just press enter key or
spacebar
> on
>> the next button to continue and allow it to choose for itself.
>> 6. This step will ask you if you are sure that all the previous
>> information you entered is correct and you are happy with it, just tab
to
>> the next button and the software will begin installing.
>> 7. When the software has been installed it will come up with the
>> "finish button" just press the enter key or spacebar on this to finish
>> off
>> the installation.
>>
>>
>> (The updating process)
>> Like all anti virus or spyware programs, this software is only as good
as
>> it's most recent updates. It is important that you always check it and
> make
>> sure it has downloaded the most recent updates. In this portion of the
>> tutorial we will look at what Super Anti Spyware is asking from us
>> just
>> after we have finished the installation.
>> 1. You will be presented with the Super Anti Spyware update screen on
>> the first run of the program.
>> 2. The question you will be asked is do you wish to check for updates
>> now? you must tab to the "yes button" and press spacebar or enter
>> key".
>>
>> Note: Once you have pressed on "yes" the program will inform you that
it
> is
>> going on-line to check for the most recent updates. Generally it will
>> find
>> some and this process will take a little time which it will tell you
>> about
>> in the form of percentages. Allow it to complete this part of the
process
>> and then move onto the next step.
>>
>>
>> 3. When the update process has finished the Anti spyware wizard will
>> come up and prompt you to go to the next button. Press enter or
spacebar
> and
>> we will move onto the next screen.
>> 4. In this section you will be prompted for your email address. Note
>> that this is optional and you don't have to put in your email address
if
> you
>> do not wish too. Just tab key to next and press enter key.
>>
>> (Automatic Updating)
>> SUPERAntiSpyware is designed to optionally check for updates when the
>> product starts. The Professional version will also check for updates
>> on
>> scheduled intervals to ensure you have the
>> Latest rules and definitions to protect your computer.
>> On this part of the tutorial we look at making sure that the spyware
> program
>> will update our software when it is suppose too.
>> 1. On this screen, just tab across the page and ensure that the
>> following items are checked;
>> *. Automatically check for definition and program updates.
>> (Sending information to the creators of Super Anti Spyware)
>> We are now on to the next screen which asks us about forwarding
> information
>> to the developers of the software; SUPERAntiSpyware Setup Wizard
>> Help stop the spread of Spyware and Viruses
>> Submitting a system diagnostic report helps our research lab identify
>> harmful graphic 329 software immediately.
>> Free System Diagnostic Report
>> If you would like to help our research labs identify potentially
harmful
>> software that may be
>> Running on your computer, please consider submitting a free diagnostic
>> report.
>> The diagnostic report does not contain any personal information such
>> as
a
>> logins, passwords or
>> Other sensitive information. It only contains a list of the programs
> running
>> on your computer.
>> This report is analyzed by our research center to identify harmful
> software.
>> If harmful software is
>> Found, we will add it to our list of software to be blocked.
>> There will be a checkbox here as follows:
>> *.Send a diagnostic report to our research center (recommended)
>> "This checkbox will be checked by default and I personally leave it
that
>> way".
>> 2. Now just tab key to the next button and choose "next"
>>
>> At this point a brief notice may come up on the screen informing you
that
> it
>> is sending a report, this is normal so don't worry about it. After
>> this
> the
>> "finish button will pop up and you can press enter on it to accept.
>> (Protecting Your Home Page)
>> In this next section we are told that Super Anti Spyware wants to
protect
>> our home pages from being tampered with by nasty types of viruses or
>> spyware. I think this is one of its nicer features. If you use your
>> tab
> key
>> there will be an edit box where you can type in what your home page
>> is,
>> in
>> my case it is http://www.google.com and that is what I typed in.
>>
>> Note:SUPERAntiSpyware can optionally protect your home page in
>> Internet
>> Explorer from
>> Being changed by other applications.
>> Spyware and Adware applications often change the home page without
>> your
>> permission.
>> 1. Type the URL of the page that you wish to make your default home
>> page which appears
>> Each time you open Internet Explorer. You may change this at anytime
>> in
> the
>> Hi-Jack
>> Protection tab of SUPERAntiSpyware which will not be discussed here.
>> Home Page for Internet Explorer
>> http://www.google.com
>>
>> 2. After filling in the home page section, tab to the next options.
>> *.Display a notification window when home page changed (recommended)
>> "This is a checkbox and it should be checked by default. If its not
then
> use
>> your spacebar to check it."
>> 3. The next two options are buttons and you can tab key to each of
>> them.
>>
>> *. Protect Home Page (recommended)
>> *.Do NOT Protect
>>
>> Note: you must hit the spacebar or enter key on protect in order to
move
>> onto the next screen.
>> 4. If your home page is some other homepage rather than what mine is
>> and you attempt to change from the other home page to Google as I
have,
> the
>> following notice will pop up;
>>
>> "SUPERAntiSpyware Alert - Home Page Changed"
>> Home Page Change SUPERAntiSpyware has detected that your browser
>> home
> page
>> has been changed. If
>> You did not make this change; you may have spyware or adware on your
> system.
>> (Before change)
>> http://www.google.com
>> Home Page for Internet Explorer (after change)
>> http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=iepver=6ar=msnhome
>> Display this notification window when home page changed
>> 6. You will have the option of choosing either of the following
>> buttons, just press enter or spacebar on whichever one you want.
>> *. Allow Change
>> *. Block Change
>>
>> (Scanning)
>> We are now at the portion of the tutorial where we are about to be
asked
> if
>> we would like to scan our computer for harmful objects. Let's take a
look
> at
>> this screen.
>> 1. The focus will be placed on the "scan button" ready for you to hit
>> it with your spacebar and begin the scanning process. I would hold off
> doing
>> this and I will show you why I would do this as we go along.
>> 2. The next button, "Schedule scanning" is pretty self-explanatory"
>> and
>> prompts us to set up a scanning procedure.
>> 3. The "Manage Quarantine button" allows taking a look at what items
>> we
>> want to keep in there and what we want to permanently delete from it.
>> It's
>> kind of like a virus vault.
>> 4. The "Preferences button". This area is like the windows control
>> panel. I suggest you do not go in here and if you do, please do not
>> change
>> anything till you are more familiar with the software.
>> 5. The "check for updates" button again is self explanatory. When you
>> install this software, because it is the freeware version of the
program,
>> you will have to use this option quite a bit. I suggest at least once
>> a
> week
>> so that you are sure to have the latest downloads of all definitions
and
>> program updates. This is very important.
>> 6. The "close button". Again, it does what it says and closes off the
>> program.
>>
>> (Scanning continued)
>> Now we can tab key back round to the scan button and press enter key
>> on
> it.
>> Let's take a look at the "scan control area".
>> *. Perform Complete Scan;
>> Scans all running items, known registry locations and scans every file
on
>> the
>> Selected drive(s). This is recommended at least once every 30 days.
>>
>> *. Custom Scan
>> Select the areas of your computer you wish to scan for potentially
>> harmful
>> applications.
>> When you have made your choice, just tab key to any of the buttons;
>> *. Scanning preferences control center.
>> "This allows us to set particular types of scans for the future.".
>> The next press of the tab key will show us a list of all drives on our
>> computer. If we have chosen a "complete scan" then all these items
>> will
>> be
>> checked and you should leave them that way.
>>
>> Please select the drive(s) to scan and your scanning options. Click
Next
> to
>> begin scanning. Graphic 422
>> Scan Location
>> C:\ - Fixed Drive (NTFS) "checked"
>> D:\ - CD-ROM "Checked"
>> E:\ - Removable (FAT) "checked"
>>
>> Above is a list of the current available drives on my computer. Yours
may
> be
>> different but ultimately it is all the same.
>> Now choose the next button and we will continue.
>> "Back Next > Cancel"
>> (The Scan Begins)
>> Once you have made your choices from the above list, and then you
>> press
> the
>> enter key on the next button the scanning process will kick in.
>> Note: If you are a jaws user then any time you wish to know if the
>> scan
>> is
>> currently running just use keys "insert + S" to put jaws on to the
>> "Say
> All"
>> option. Jaws will begin to read anything that is going on within the
>> scanning window and eventually inform you what the scanning processes
> doing.
>>
>> You should then turn jaws back to its default option of "highlighted"
> using
>> the same keys as above as listening to jaws rattling on with info that
>> is
>> not necessary can become tiresome.
>>
>> (What Controls are present on the scanning Screens?)
>> As Super Anti Spyware is scanning, you will have the scanning present
on
>> your monitor. What we have on this screen is as follows;
>> *. A list box which contains all the items that the scanning process
>> discovers on your computer. This is great as you can arrow through the
> items
>> and see what exactly it is that was found and if you really want to
>> get
> rid
>> of any of the items.
>> *. After that all you have are three buttons, "Next, pause, and
cancel".
>> Once the scan has finished up will pop an "ok button". This event can
be
>> silent sometimes and the only way you may know that the scan has
finished
> is
>> that when you use the tab key nothing will happen or jaws will say
> nothing.
>> However if you feel that the ok button is there just press the
>> spacebar
> and
>> once again you will have a user friendly screen.
>> After hitting enter on the ok button you will have up a list of all
items
>> found on your computer as follows;
>> You may elect to quarantine and remove an application or leave it on
your
>> computer. Applications can always be restored
>> To your computer at any time.
