Although WiperSoft is very simple and fast anti-spyware software, it left us with many disappointments because it is not effective against bigger threats and is quite expensive.

To Summarize

If you are looking for a fast and quick anti-malware tool that provides basic protection against common cyber threats without any system-performance disturbs and slowdowns then WiperSoft would be a good solution for you. However, WiperSoft is not capable of protecting against bigger threats and would not be a good choice for businesses and heavy users. In this case, Reviewed by Pro would recommend you Defender Pro Internet Security and Antivirus which provides a decent set of security and privacy features, excellent malware detection and removal results and does not have negative impact on the system. Even though Defender Pro’s scans take a bit longer compared to WiperSoft, Defender Pro Internet Security and Antivirus’s scans are more way more accurate and reveals all the malware and other cyberthreats.
