Hi Geeks!

I have kept 'SuperAntispyware' in my armory just because of its impeccable 'Repair Features' (with Repair Broken NETWORK Connection being my favorite); otherwise its 'Definition Update' feature is enough to fickle anyone's mind to trash this product &  opt for something Better!

Release after Release....their developers keep on throwing LIES within their 'Change Log' & have often claimed 'Drastic Improvements' in its Definition Update efficiency!....??..Utter Falsehood!

It takes not less than 2.5 minutes to accomplish A-Z of Definition Update PROCEDURE!

What's your take....?! Is there a workaround to tweak this application for Quick Update Procedure!?Why do you insist on STARTING every post with 'Hi Geeks'?

Are there any errors when SAS is updating? Has it always taken this long?Hello Carbon!

SAS used to much better with versions released till year 2007.No, it do not pose any Error Message!

Secondly, after downloading & installing the 'NEW Definitions'; it continues... till it reflect the Description of the New definitions?!..what's its worth?

Surely, I'll alter my Salutations to keep it afresh! If you aren't happy with SAS why don't you try Malwarebytes?Hi Quantos!

Gr8 to see your 'Cool' Avatar! I already have Malwarebytes product in my Armory.
Its just because of 'Repair Tools', Iam stick to this Product.

What about you folks? Does SAS works perfect during 'Definition Update'?You can get other repair tools, why tie yourself to something you HATE?anyway, superantispyware software itself has been updated as of today.

But sure, get other antimalware tools that you like, as long as it can be updated at least once a day or manually. SAS takes ages to update...? Is it a direct download from an FTP server? Or have they since 2007 or whenever started also using bit torrent protocols to dish out the updates?

Is your router or firewall causing the slow down?...

Anyway 2.5mins isn't a very long time in the real world. Wish, if I could showcase the Screen Activity by recording it in a Flash File!?I don know how to do that & with which application?

I prefer downloads from Filehippo.com & use Windows Firewall.

You think that 'Adding an exception' to the Windows Firewall can make this application Zoom past to fetch the latest update definitions!? Which parts of the utility do you rely on.  There are many other utilities that may do the same thing.  Tell us what parts you use.Hi Quantos!

I wish to showcase that how SAS updates in 'Real Time' through a Flash Recording.

Simply putting it, the Procedure goes:

Step1: Downloading Definitions, you see a progressing bar

Step2: Box appears that depicts 'Checking for Updates', stays on  for a while for say 40-45 seconds.

Step3: Again a progressing bar & you see list of updated definitions.One that lists Vundo,Worm.Z...etc.

& not to forget that unusually 'Long time' SAS takes to launch itself (First Instance) when an Icon is clicked or through Launchy.

Overall experience is to SIT & MEDITATE till SAS launches & download latest definition updates!
Yes, I understand that.  What program features are tying you to SAS though?

There is a whole world of software out there that you may like better.Everyone seems to empathize with me but no one has told that do they also experience the same 'Wait & Watch' kind of a gimmick with SAS?!


& replying to Quantos:

"Repair Broken Internet Connection" is that factor tying me with SAS!

Can you please compile a list of utilities that can help achieve the same Objective?

& Yes, also a favorable 'Screen Recording' app to let me share the agony I encounter with SAS, everytime!

"Wait and Watch gimmick"? It doesn't bother me, so I didn't think of it as such.  Quote from: Saurabhdua on July 31, 2009, 04:39:30 AM
