For all, without exception, users of modern computer systems, security is one of the top priorities. For this, a lot of software products have been created. Some choose SpyHunter 4. How to activate the program, however, initially no one thinks. But then the problems begin. How to solve them, read on.
Is there a free version of SpyHunter 4?
Immediately upset all the adherents of this software product, since the official free stationary version of the application does not actually exist.
On the Internet, you can only find a portable utility or hacked versions of SpyHunter 4. How to activate pirated copies will be discussed later, but this information is provided for informational purposes only. And now let's take up the issues of official activation of the program.
SpyHunter 4: official activation
It is not clear why, but the description of the application does not define exactly what this utility is in terms of distribution and acquisition conditions (either paid, or shareware, but doesn’t want to eliminate the threat to enter a special key). You can download it for free, this is not discussed. But updating databases or eliminating threats found during the scanning process without registration and activation will fail.
For the official version of SpyHunter 4, activation in the program itself is provided only partially, and then only at the final stage. The main actions can be performed on the official website of the developer, after registering. Registration takes a couple of minutes. After confirming the registration on the page, you need to use the Buy Now button, enter your data and confirm the payment method, after which an email will be sent to the email address specified during registration with detailed instructions on how to perform further actions and the data that will be needed enter directly into SpyHunter 4. How to activate it? Yes, very simple.
In the left part of the main window with the main menu there is a section of parameters in which you need to enter and register there login (it is also an email address) and password. Then you should use the activation button, and in the fields to be filled in, enter the data that was indicated in the received email. When entering, be especially careful, pay attention to case, lowercase and uppercase characters, etc. At the end of the input, we confirm the information. If everything is entered correctly, activation will occur immediately.
Note: in order to avoid misunderstandings and problems with the operation of the program (and with activation in particular), it is strongly recommended that you disable the “native” Windows firewall before the first launch and further steps (conflicts may occur).
SpyHunter 4: how to activate a patch (unofficial registration)?
But our users are in no hurry to pay for such a product (in fact, like for everything else). And in a very high degree, this applies to the popular tool SpyHunter 4. How to activate it informally? In the simplest case, you can download an already hacked version of the application for which an activator is not needed.
There is another method for SpyHunter 4. An activator can be a special patch, which can be found bundled with the main distribution. But here, not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. The very first thing that needs to be done after installation is to exit the program so that it does not start updating the modules via the Internet on its own (you can also just disconnect the connection and close the application first) and complete the process in the “Task Manager”.
Now from the unpacked directory you need to copy the patch file (SpyHunter 4.X.XX, 4.X.XX, etc.) directly to the directory with the installed program. Running a patch is not required. After restarting, the application is activated automatically. For obvious reasons, patch numbers are not indicated.
Some enthusiasts, as an option, suggest using a key generator that will generate a response registration code using the serial number or assembly.
A few words in the end
But remember that not all web resources are clean at hand. So, for example, there are quite a few cases when, when downloading activation keys, users picked up viruses, from which they also wanted to protect themselves.
In addition, the given example of unofficial activation is a violation of international norms and legislation on computer piracy, and therefore should not be taken as a call to action. The information is presented for informational purposes only for a general understanding of the subject matter.
And one more important fact. As it turns out, sometimes an unofficially activated version of SpyHunter 4 may lose some of its functionality, which subsequently will adversely affect the entire mechanism for detecting potentially dangerous threats and how to deal with them. And the fact that it is very difficult to remove a program from the system without special knowledge is not discussed at all.
