Editorial Review of Hazard Shield

Looking for an anti-malware tool with a little something extra? Hazard Shield claims to be a fast antimalware program that can do both manual scans and real-time monitoring for ongoing protection. Hazard Shield definitely completed its scan faster than my normal antispyware program, Webroot Spy Sweeper. What�s more, it found several items that Spy Sweeper appears to have missed. Hazard Shield has a few other nifty features, like the ability to delete those pesky hard-to-remove files that are locked or in use, an uninstaller, and more. Hazard Shield can scan both local network drives.

Duration of ownership: 0 Weeks

Strengths: Works o.k Had no problems downloading and installing

Weaknesses: Does not do as much as AdWare does. AdWare found things that it didn't

Overall Evaluation: If you reread their write up they do not say anything about AdWare jut Spybot why because it weak and just do not do good job. Yes it may run a little faster then AdWare but that may be because it is not looking for as much as AdWare.

Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

Strengths: Don't know, never got to use it

Weaknesses: a2 found it contained a trojan, same problem as craigkra had, so I deleted it.

Overall Evaluation: 9 of 11 reviews prior to mine gave it the lowest possible rating, as do I. It's been 2 weeks since the 1st report that it contains a trojan. Yet you guys are still promoting it, instead of removing it. And I can find no response to our complaints & alerts to you. What's up with that?

Duration of ownership: 5 Days

Strengths: Small footprint. Scans fast. File killer a great option.

Weaknesses: Realtime protection caused serious problems.

Overall Evaluation: Put this app on laptop and desktop. Laptop had visit from Dr. Watson. Desktop had BSOD on startup. NOTE: realtime protection still runs after program is uninstalled. Shut it down first and uninstall. Nearly killed my PCs.

Duration of ownership: 0 Days

Strengths:

Weaknesses: Does not display well. Apparently this app was not tested with a screen display using large fonts. I'm old and don't have the best eyes so I use large size (120 DPI) and the UI does not show all the text or buttons.

Overall Evaluation: If I have to change my system settings to use the app, I won't be using it.
