GPA, above 14 of the 56 other antivirus apps we grade
SUPERAntiSpyware is a Windows scanner for spyware, adware, trojans, ransomware and other unwanted software, made to run beside a regular antivirus. A free edition scans on demand.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SUPERAntiSpyware, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for an on-demand scan to run beside your antivirus
SUPERAntiSpyware is a Windows scanner with a free edition that scans and removes on demand. Real-time protection, scheduled scans and AI detection need Professional X at $19.99 a year for 3 PCs. The vendor says it is meant to work with an antivirus, not replace one.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Professional X is $19.99 a year for 3 PCs, about $1.67 a month, inside the cheapest quarter. The crossed-out $74.95 has no end date and no renewal price. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free edition that only scans and removes on demand. Real-time protection and scheduled scans are Pro. |
| Features | D | It is a scanner that the vendor positions to work beside an antivirus, so it needs another product to cover a PC. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, but it is a Windows program you install and run. |
| Platforms and integrations | D | Windows only: the requirements list Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace SUPERAntiSpyware you would be making an engine that recognises new malware as it appears. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 56 other antivirus apps grade higher. It costs $19.99 a year.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An engine that recognises new malware as it appears.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. SUPERAntiSpyware’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
