A very similar article (different capitalization) was deleted in 2008 after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SuperAntiSpyware. The article is in a better shape than before, but I don't think the software passes the threshold for inclusion. -- Luk talk 10:04, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment How similar? Similar enough to warrant a deletion per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion § G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion? Perhaps it is good idea if the attending administrator check this. Fleet Command (talk) 12:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. My reading of the history is that this was speedily deleted once in 2008; the prior AfD closed as no consensus. At any rate, Google News and Books both show substantial coverage in reliable sources.[1][2][3][4] This is well known, general interest software that would appear to meet current notability criteria. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In fact it's the third AfD (I missed one). Delete in 2008, No consensus in 2009, and this one. -- Luk talk 16:20, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Most of the reviews about the product talk about how uneffective it is, and while most "reviews" are on pages with "download now" buttons, not all are. Seems to squeak passed WP:GNG. Dennis Brown (talk) 14:42, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per prior AFD. Notability isn't temporary; the product may now be obsolete, but it once enjoyed significant coverage as a free (if more limited) alternative to commercial antimalware. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 14:58, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
