Spyhunter 4 review
Any application that is not known to its database as “safe” is not allowed to open unless the user allows the execution or launching of the program. The System Guards of SpyHunter work as they should. This memory usage by SpyHunter application is unacceptable especially if the program is idle in the notification area in Windows. However, the memory usage by its SpyHunter4.exe is using 95MB which is a lot of memory compared to other anti-malware programs that also offer real-time protection. The computer did not experience any slowdown while SpyHunter was running a scan or monitoring the system for malicious activity or processes.

SpyHunter did not report its status to the Windows Security Center in Windows and will not disable Windows Defender in Vista or in Windows 7 or if installed and enabled in Windows XP.
This type of installation method is very poor because users are not informed of the many tasks that it is doing right after the install.

Internet Explorer is also automatically opened to congratulate the user of the successful install of SpyHunter and at the same time, the full system scan is started, again without notice. SpyHunter automatically scans the system for rootkits and the scan process immediately occurred even if you have not clicked the “Finish” button of the installer window. I’m surprised that the program automatically started a scan without advanced notice. When it finished downloading the required installation files, the install will proceed but with surprises. The application installer is using a bootstrap loader method to download a 25MB setup files that is stored in temporary internet files directory in Windows. To install SpyHunter, the computer should be using Windows 7, Vista or XP operating system.
