Product Overview

ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware is an anti-malware software package sold by ParetoLogic, Inc., a company based in Canada. It works in two ways to keep you safe from harm:

  • Detect and remove any existing malware
  • Protect your system from infection


For detection and removal, it examines objects in memory, files and folders, the registry, browser cookies and other places where spyware usually tries to hide. Upon detection you are offered with options for dealing with the culprits, such as removal or quarantine.

Once your system is clean, Anti-Spyware employs intelligent runtime diagnostics to prevent any new malware from infecting your system.

Continuous updates to the detection database ensures the software keeps up with the latest developments.

Review summary
Expert reviews of ParetoLogic’s Anti-Spyware are hard to come by, the most “recent” ones dating all the way back to 2006. It seems as though professional tech journalists have lost interest in the program.

User reviews are similarly scarce, with most of them not exactly fanatic about the program. This of course is true for many tools, as users tend to voice especially their negative opinions, which are often based on isolated views.

Nevertheless, the review situation of this product is rather bleak and suggests looking elsewhere for solving your malware problems.
