I got nailed with a nasty virus and when I googled how to fix it, several blogs suggested using Spyhunter 4 as a quick and easy fix for getting rid of the problem. So I downloaded it and began the scan for my infected computer. It DID find several things, including one of the things I knew had infected my computer.
The scan took HOURS. At least 2 hours if not more. When it was finally done, a window popped up saying in order to get rid of the infections it had found I had to buy the Premium version of the software for 40 bucks. NOW WHERE on those help forums did it mention you had to pay for the scanner to erase any infections, otherwise I would have never bothered with it. After reading other reviews of Spyhunter I learned about their shady business practices. It is one of those virus scanners that makes you think your computer is more infected than it really is to scare you. For all I know it could have been giving me false infection findings because I was able to remove the viruses from my computer using other software that was FREE. It's always good to read up on Adware/malware/virus scanners like these because some of them are just a scam. I learned that the hard way.
I have purchased SpyHunter software online one year ago. Subsequently I removed it from the computer because it did not do me any good. As many other Spyware mallware programs I have tried it runs not needed checks and declares many infections and then "cleans" them. My computer continues to be sluggish and I have a lots of problems. The bottom line the SpyHunter was totally useless. I did not even try to get money back from enigmasoftware.com
About a month ago the credit card I have used to purchase the SpyHunter was charged for the renewal of software I have never installed on my computer by a company named www.iomatic.com for reneval of a software named Registry Medic. I looked the statements of all my credit cards for the Summer of 2009 and found out that the only software I have purchased online was from www.enigmasoftware.com. This made the connection. Plus enigmasoftware.com has in its line of products software named Registry Medic. I could not find if these two companies are business related but I am sure www.enigmasoftware.com have provided my credit card information to iomatic.com.
Do not buy from Enigmasoftware!
Excellent product. Saved me from some embarrassing malware. I highly recommend SpyHunter for sever infections.

Answer: Try a different search engine; Google Chrome for instance - rejects some certificates (not secure) even though the destination is viable. Subscriptions Can be blocked (cancelled on credit card) or being drawn on most accounts; getting it back weeks later, is another matter.
Answer: Spyhunter mostly sucks up the malware; that's right.
Answer: Spyhunter sucks, expensive, ineffective. I bought spyhunter 4 for 39.99 for one computer, because people said it could remove kcntr virus, but not. It asked me to spend another 29.99, I don't want to waste money any more. Anti-malware is $20 a year for three computer, it can not remove KCNTR, but at least it is much cheapter.
