You can always turn them on with a shortcut, scan, then turn them off.

Downloaded and installed quickly and registered easily on Win 7x64. Ran the program, after adding certain programs to the Exclusion List. Then I closed the program, and ran all my AV and Malware programs, full scan - heuristic. Nothing found. Then I made a full image just in case, and a backup.

GridinSoft Anti-malware, full scan, heuristic mode found tons of stuff! Scan took a long time, on a 1gig disk, 3/4 full. Many False Positives and some suspected, and some surprise files. Many more items to add to the exclusion list. (IE): app data/uninstall files, many HKCU registry items. So it will take a while to get everything right. I would like to see a link in the program straight to Virus Total, so I could double check some False Positives I'm not sure about. The program does a very through scan. Found everything, and then some. Thank you for this fantastic program, GridinSoft and GOTD. A great addition to my arsenal against the PC-MoMos.

I never use any protection on my home computer. Downloaded GridinSoft Anti-Malware, it was in scanning process even before I put in Registration key. It came up with 87 Adware/Malware/Trojan, some I have encountered while cleaning other computers and didn't know were hiding on my computer.
I find it fast and easy, especially like the Create Restore checkbox before initiating quarantine/removal. Every file is clearly shown with various choices from drop-down menu for each item. I also appreciate the many software settings available to choose for how the program starts, scans and works. I'm keeping this and looking forward to testing further and follow improvements so I can suggest to my clients.
Thank you GOTD, and GridinSoft for your great support you have shown us today!

Great program. Installation : POC (Piece Of Cake)
Ran it, and it found bad stuff that others didn't find.
Agree, you have to be very careful to delete or quarantine things. There's quite some false positives.
Therefor, it would be great that a click on the found threats, would fire up e.g. Google to get more info about the threat, helping you decide what to do.

all in all, I cannot recommend this program at the moment.
the developers have some work to do to get rid of all the false positives.
uninstalled.

Kostas,
There's an option where you can make the program NOT to autostart... It WON'T add processes and WON'T slow down your PC...

:)

Found a file that had NOT been found by Malware Bytes, Spybot, AdwCleaner, JRT, Mbar, Combofix ... all the usual suspects. Looks like the rest were false positives. I didn't take the time to for more research. I'll do it next time or when I have more time.

The application's right click/context menu needs to 1) offer to open the file location AND 2) search for the file name online. It's too labor intensive to navigate to the file for checking and/or research the file online.

Some of my downloaded and "saved for maybe later" programs were flagged. Since I got a "heads up", I know I'll have to do further research if I want to use one of those programs.

Thank you Gridinsoft. GridinSoft Anti-Malware 3.0 will definitely be a part of my overall security setup - especially when I have a bit more time to work with it.

malware ???
don't know yet, but
? C:\end has 54 bytes
? SWDUMon.sys has 0 bytes

Avoid this crapware like the plague! It will flag a large majority of legitimate files as malware even though they aren't malware. I did a full scan just to test this out and it was flagging programs such andy android os as well as files downloaded from sites like majorgeeks.com

This is a bloomin' joke. I keep a clean system and I was trying it out. I kept hearing beep beep. I looked at the scan and it was detecting Andy as adware. Andy is an Android app virtual device. I removed the POS instantly. Stay away. This can be a dangerous piece of software if you let it remove what it 'finds'.

Reinstalled--no registration form pops up either outside of or in MS Edge.

I downloaded your software, ran it, but when the small window opened, requesting my details, I kept getting a warning that scripts couldn't run, so I am not able to register it.
Can you help please?
Thank you.
JR

Keep getting script not running. This page does not support scripts. etc... When I try to register. Any help?? Had to dump Nortin anti virus cause it deleted the install.

I downloaded the software, ran the setup file, but when a small window opened up, asking me for my details, I kept getting a message saying the scripts could not run, and so I cannot get a registration key.
Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks for the program :)

It works fine om windows 10 and found malware that I suspected but all other could not find . the only thing is I hate programs that add context menu items without the option to disable them . why every company inists on making very long context menu items like "scan withe Gridinsoft Anti-Malware " lol is beyond me.yup I really want my context menus to be one and a half inches wide !

An icon and Scan Now is more than enough as we already know what program it is by the icon.but please have an option to disable the context menus at least.

that said great giveaway many thanks :)

GridinSoft Anti-Malware 3.0 is best approached with a great sense of humor.
The number and type of false positives is an experience to behold.

For example ...
All Scheduled Tasks are considered Suspicious.
(including my self authored reminders to "take out the dog").

The autostart of ..\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe was considered Suspicious
as were most of the other autostarts and many of my own BATch files.

Perhaps the most amusing find was the big red "Trojan.PL.Gen.Bot"
warning for my C:\autorun.inf. This 2 line text file contains...

[autorun]
ICON=MediaCenter2.ico

(used only to replace the generic Disc icon of Drive C:)

I don't mind a good laugh, now and then, but I feel sorry for inexperienced
users that may take this application's suggestions seriously. A copious
amount of common sense is require here. If in doubt, call a nerd before
pressing the "Do It" button.

Since the registration requires Internet Explorer's Scrip handler, and since
my poor little outdated XP-SP3 crashed EIGHT times while fighting off Script
Errors, I was unable to get my license. In a subsequent email...

Dear Customer,
To recieve [sic: receive] a free license key, please, please resend us your
full name, country, gender and age.

... which I did two and a half hours ago but have received nothing back.
I hope that I will hear from GridinSoft before my sense of humor runs out.

Smiles,

This program uses a part of Internet Explorer for the form to get a code.
And for some reasons sometimes this goes wrong. (a digit in the name?)
If so, go to
http://gridinsoft.com/giveawayoftheday/index.php
And fill in the form.

Also I did read "It took nearly an hour to get them all out of quarantine."
After the scan there is a pause; here you have options what to do with the results:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4vepsm3euot9t5u/ActieKeuze.png?dl=0
I also did scan removable drives:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qoz4uowzy4e4fer/USB-Scan.png?dl=0
and I choose not to remove anything.
Now it is my responsibility.

Found a way to get rid of the error!! copy and paste the error url to the address bar of your browser. The form reappears. Fill up and volla... you shall receive the activation code.

You should consider something TallEmu did years ago when developing Online Armor firewall and HIPS style software. They added an option during the install to trust all software at the time of install. This was for experienced users as they most often knew their systems very well and it was meant more to catch things coming in after install. If you added this option and also the ability of the software to upload hashes for the software installed and any other identifiers you could build yourself a good cloud database of probably safe software which could be white listed or grey listed as likely safe so you don't bother the users as much. These small changes could much improve your software. I will look next time it's offered to see if the changes have been made.

Cannot registrar for activation. The window throws jquery errors and not submitting, tried 4/5 times.

Can I use along with my McAfee security program?

Internet Explorer script error while filling out the license information in the pop up box after installing and running the software.Only have the free version of the software.

Seems like a desirable program. Downloaded, installed, completed registration, program running OK. Just one problem.

I DID NOT RECEIVE KEY BY EMAIL!

Registration is always not successful even after several tries.

Error message: "An error occurred in the script on this page......Object doesn't support this property or method.........
URL: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.3/jquery.min.js"

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

Sadly. No code recieved :( My girlfriend got the key in seconds.

The download went smoothly (with Norton antimalware shut down). The registration box came up and I filled it out leaving only a blank rectangular box at the bottom that said will come up in 15 minutes. Well, it never came up and an error message appeared that there was an error in script. What now?

Hi I am using Bitdefender. Will there be any conflicts if this program is used concurrent with Bitdefender running in the background. Appreciate your views.

I had very similar problems as Mike OD, and I am hoping that I don't need to do a reinstall of everything!

The program downloads and runs ok but when entering my details to get the free license I get an error message. No email with codes arrives - only a page from GOTD saying I have successfully registered. However the program says I am not registered and will not therefore remove malware.

Dl and install no problem. Registering has un necessary questions but got it done. I uninstalled it as it found literall dozens of false positives on my software (Glary Utilities, 360 security, my Nvidia driver (!), Ccleaner, many more,and EVERY one of my games- all legitimate!) and even some of my MS updates! It took nearly an hour to get them all out of quarantine. I run defender and 360 Security which, besides having 360 cloud anti virus protection, also contains Avira and Malwarebites, which never have given me false positives, This is dangerous software and can seiously damage your system! To find Nvidia's driver as a virus is ridiculous! Caveat emptor.

Downloaded and Activated ok. I am happy with this product- gave two scans on the first I was just about to press scan button and it started on its own- no problem. Picked up a tojan- I was able to put it and Kerish Doc in ignor list. It also worked with my windows defender- whereas the Idoo from previous giveaway did not play nice with Defender. I am type of person who wants to leave and use W. Defender. My ststem is 64x window10pro..Gridin is working well day one of using it...Happy to have 364 more...

Hello Gridinsoft Team and Giveawayoftheday Team,

first of all many thanks for you to enable us to use this software for a year free.
As I can remember I have used the Gridinsoft Notepad many times which was a excellent software, too from the same company.

I have installed and registered Gridinsoft Antimalware without any problems. After the first scan Antimalware has found some Adware.FPL.Gen.se adwares, but also alarmed me because of the next softwares, too (suspicious autostart): Unhackme, Hard Disk Sentinel, Kerish Doctor, USB Safely Remove, Wisecare 365.
The last 4 softwares were offered also by Giveawayoftheday. I would like to suggest to Gridinsoft Team to consider to remove these false positives. Each of these 4 softwares are great and useful products without any harm. Of course, with their autostart the starting process of the Windows may be slower, but I think using them has much more advantage. Many thanks once again for both Teams.

I found this program very simple to operate. Some of the fonts could be in a darker colour. The RESTORE POINT is kind of hidden and should be more visible. It was also very fast - I look forward to seeing if there are any differences between the major program and this one. Thanks for the opportunity to test.

Dealing with Malware usually requires 3 -5 programs to scan and search. This is a legitimate tool to put in your security arsenal. It gives a helpful estimate on when it will complete. The interface isn't bad but the final list to clean, after the app ends the search, may need some tweaks. There may be some false positives, so research them.

Other apps I use to keep my 'puter clean are: (ADWcleaner, combofix, malwarebytes, Avira, RKill, mcAfee Stinger)

Mr RUBENKING from PCMAG, who is one of the best PC security experts around, gave a very poor score about your previous product (Trojan Killer):

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2486334,00.asp

So the question is: what kind of improvements have you done, compared to the previous version of this program?

I thought I would give this a try, however, I use Malwarebytes which has served me quite well. Downloaded and registered quite easily on Win 7 Pro-64 bit PC.
The software found many items, but all were valid existing programs, such as Panda Security, Driver Genius, Storm Predator and VWS (Weather Station). It didn't find any malware which means Malwarebytes is doing its job!
The program was fast, though, and I'll keep it for now. Thanx GOTD and Gridinsoft!

Installed and registered easily. Ran a scan. Among 61 items, it also flagged my Auslogic defragmenter, Karens Replicator, Iobit Antimalware, Network Meter, Freemake Video Downloader, Winja Antimalware, Core Temp Processor Monitor, and Dual Boot Repair programs. This is far too aggressive for me. Thank you for the opportunity but I think I will pass.

I want to thank the developer's company for coming here and including responses to folks comments. I can't count how many times developers don't do it. I respect that. It shows concern.

I think, rather I know, that a lot of people don't realize an anti malware system is built into Windows 10. Definitely worth having if you run 7 or earlier.

Hi, this is a bit unusual, but I'm trying to help someone called 'abu', whose comment was in Polish and is now deleted. The user said 'I installed the program but now I'm lost and don't know where to find activation key'..

So my answer to Abu is what can be found in Readme text: 'To activate your free copy please fill in the registration form, which appears after installation. Then check your e-mail for registration key. Use the key to complete the activation procedure',
and translated to Polish (if still of interest) it would be:

'Aby aktywowac ten darmowy program - prosimy wypelnic okienko rejestracji, ktore ukaze sie po zainstalowaniu programu. Nastepnie prosimy sprawdzic poczte e-mailowa (z przeslanym kluczem) i zastosowac go by dokonczyc procedure aktywowania programu'

As this Page is mainly for English speaking (and understanding) users - Comments in different languages are not commonly understood or helpful to others, therefore either down-voted, or deleted. I'm doing this as an exception on this Site seeing a genuine request, however on sister Site GGOTD - we see from time to time Comments in different languages and WR (Whiterabbit-uk) always takes an effort to answer them in native 'lingo' to make them feel welcome. Hope it helps.

This is Anti-Malware software, yet you don't add publisher into setup.exe. My windows 8.1 give me a warning to run setup.exe due to unknown publisher. False positive i know, but why not to add publisher?

Installed, registered without problem. Run the program, however it detected my other antispyware program Idoo Antispyware and quarantine 3 of the files which i need to run the program. How is that possible to detect other program files and send to quarantine. Lucky its quarantine which i can restore. If delete straight away, I wouldn't be able to restore it.

When I read GridinSoft,it sounds familiar and after I saw user interface,I remembered that I have this product (not for a long) but under different name.Trojan remover or Trojan Killer.Generally this is the same product under the new name.This software gained one of the lowest score in all major tests,something like Windows defender.Maybe this version is improved,but after all those false positives I gave up.I'm supporting small software companies,and I'm buying their products rather then from some major ''players''.BUT,only when their software is decent.At this point GridinSoft Anti-Malware is far behind good and reliable solution against malware.I hope that Gridinsoft will continue to improve this product.

I am referring this one to my IT savvy friend for his opinion (this type of program is difficult to tell if it works or not, since you are looking for something that DOESN'T happen instead of something that does, i.e. malware infestation). I need to install it on my Windows XP computer that I cannot afford to replace yet. Many of the "name brand" antivirus programs no longer support or will soon cease support for Windows XP, so this looks like a good potential.

It's been 2 hours and I still haven't received the registration key. Yes, I filled out the registration form.

Installed and registered without a hitch. Nice clear layout, plenty of info without cluttering the GUI. After running a quick scan a whole pile of PUPs were found that had been missed by Spy Bot Search and Destroy and the irony of it is that all the malware found were from the GOTD give away of Express Uninstall from 29/05/2016, which came as a bit of a surprise and yes they were genuine positives, I checked before taking any action. This is a keeper and bye-bye Spybot!

I am getting an error while registering in Winxp and Win7 (32bit).
I too have high hopes, but the dam error says, "an error has occured in the script on this page". Maybe the developer used 64 bit pc while writing this software.
So, i can get past this, i havn't received my key to activate.
What do i do.

very poorly rated on numerous sites

Elegant program all round ! ..... Downloaded and installed on Windows 10 64 Bit without any issues .....Registration process clear and precise and activated without any problems !

Very clean user interface with plenty of " config options " Rapid scanning process ...but extremely thorough !
Very happy with overall performance and highly likely that I will purchase this software after further trial .....
Scan picked up items that Malwarebytes had missed ....and the scan has not interfered with my BitDefender Security or any other running processes ...

One caveat though ...... The scan picked up on legitimate software and "flagged " it as Malware ...In my case ..this was Stardocks' legitimate "Object Desktop " component .... this was easily circumvented by selecting " Ignore " and therefore preventing unwanted removal!
...Users should pay particular attention to the scan results and select accordingly ...Don't just "Quarantine " without checking
Just bear this in mind when looking at your results after scanning !
Maybe an alternative "darker skin theme " wouldalso be worth the developers considering ..That being said ....Thank you GridinSoft and GAOTD for a great offer ...:-)

Hi does it also have web filtering?
