Free SUPER AntiSpyware users, PLEASE HELP! After checking for updates, do you exit icon from they system tray?

Question

When I open SUPER AntiSpyware & check for updates an icon appears in the system tray on the bottom right of my screen. Is it necessary to keep the icon there? If I keep the icon there, does it slow down the PC? After the update is complete is it okay to right click on the icon & EXIT or does it need to be there to keep protecting me from SPYWARE?

Answer 1

Letting the icon stay in your tray has nothing to do with your PC's speed or operation. It doesn't "slow down the PC." Once I'm through using SuperAntiSpyware, and close the main panel, then I usually right click on the little bug and close it, but not because it's a problem of any kind. I've used SAS for well over and year and love it. It DOES remove all the spyware, which is what I wanted it to do. Having a little bug in my system tray is such a small thing that it can easily be ignored!

As for the I**** that claimed it has no detection "in the free version" I say you need to know what you are talking about before you makd such a statement. Read my answer above. If SAS didn't have live protection, why the heck would an intelligent and capable programmer like me keep it around a year?!?!? Duuh!

Answer 2

I update,run a scan and then close it up.It uses very little ram unless scanning,it doesn't have real-time protection in the free version so leaving it on does no good.

Answer 3

Because you have Super AntiSpyware free  you do not have to leave he icon in you system tray. I does not take up any extra RAM, so when you leave it thtere your pc does not slow down.

When you leave it in system tray it is much easier to get to menu.

Just right click and you have all the information you need,

You do not need to open the program to check for updates or start a scan.

The pro can be set to auto updates and also a sceduled scan. Therefore it is needed in the pro to leave icon in system tray.

I would just leave it there.
