And finally, what is our replacement for SAS Portable?

SAS Portable is no more

Yes, that’s right. Ther portable version of SuperAntiSpyware is no longer a portable version. The link now goes to the free home installable version. The portable version is only available as a paid-for subscription.

We are now on the look out for a replacement to reccommend to our customers.
If you have the free-home edition, there is no need to remove it. Keep it. It’s still a great installed application.
