Default SuperAntiSpyware Professional Expires Prematurely

Thanks PvdG42. I've advised my son to do as you suggested and just download
the free version of the non-Professional version of SuperAntiSpyware. I
wasn't sure if this program was as good as the Pro version but I'll take
your word for it that it is.

David B. I can read just fine.

It doesn't say on the site that the trial period is 365 days but it says
so on the Application window that opens up on my other computer. It shows
on that window that I have "158 days left on my trial and says that the
trial expires on 7/12/2010". When I first installed the app, it said I
had 365 days until the trial expired. Apparently what's happened is that
the trial time has recently been modified from 365 days to 15 days (the
latter number IS stated on the website). Whether that's actually true or
not doesn't matter. The fact remains that my trial version was originally
good for 1 year, but now that's changed. And I didn't know this when I
installed the same program on my son's computer. Based on others'
comments, it looks like my son will not be able to re-install this
program and his only recourse is to buy it. The site offers the
non-Professional version of SuperAntispyware on a CD for $10 which is
probably a good deal.

Paul C.

Maybe not. If by "non-Professional version" you mean the *free* for home
users version available for download he

http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispyware.html

Why not just have your son download and use it? The free version has
worked very well here.

The fact also remains that they advertise a 15 day trial, anything beyond
that is a gift more or less, not something your entitled to. As stated
earlier you need to talk to their support people, this is not a Vista issue,
nor is it related to hardware.

DL, the normal trial period for this scanner is 365 days. I have it
installed on another computer and it's been running fine for 6 months
with about 180 days left on the trial, so having it expire after 30 days
is unusual. Paul C.

You can set WU for automatic install of Critical updates.
I dont see any mention on their site as to how long the pro trial lasts
for, 30 days would not be unisuall
If you trial the product and after expiry uninstall then reinstall
there will be some entry in the registry that show the trial has
expired, so you cannot trial again

My son's HP laptop (Vista Basic, Firefox, 1.5 GB RAM) has been running
quite well with MBAM, SuperAntiSpyware Professional installed for
about a month. No viruses, malware, spyware so far. Windows Defender
is active. My son's not dilligent about installing WU's so he's about
2 months behind.

All of sudden the free-to-try version of SuperAntiSpyware professional
says it's expired after only 30 days. An uninstall and re-install did
nothing.---the programs still says it's expired right after the
install completes. It's possible that a system restore was done a few
weeks ago for another issue. Could this have screwed up the program
timer?

If we tried to download a fresh version of the program to a flash
drive and Run if from there, would that set the timer clock back to
zero?

Does anyone have a work-around so that we can get either another year
on this program or the rest of the time `due us' back?

Thanks.................Paul C.
