Gridinsoft Anti-Malware Review

PROS

• Niceuser interface.

• Can reverse malicious changes to browser and Windows Update settings.

CONS

• Real-time protection disabled by default.

• Doesn't scan downloads.

• Zero score in malicious URL blocking test.

• Poor score in hands-on malware blocking test.

• No test results from independent labs.

BOTTOM LINE GridinSoft Anti-Malware aims to kill all types of malware, not just Trojans. Our testing shows that it fails in that aim. This product isn't ready for prime time.

Ukraine-based GridinSoft product review, GridinSoft Trojan Killer ($39.95 per year). It's a good-looking utility, but if it's going to gain a reputation it will definitely have to do a better job.

Despite the name, Trojan Killer aims to "Cure your PC from any kind of malware!" My contact at GridinSoft agreed that the name is dated, and mentioned that they're considering rebranding.
