UNSOLVED
SUPERAntiSpyware 8
Just a "heads-up" --- looks like SAS has released a new version 8.0.1024... the previous version was 6.0.1264... (so what happened to v7???)
Hopefully, this will distributed via the program's internal updater... and will keep one's customized settings.
For those interested in being an early guinea-pig, and downloading the FULL installer, see https://www.superantispyware.com/free-edition.html

I downloaded/installed SAS 8 on a Win10 test system. It alleged that it would keep all my customized settings, but I didn't actually confirm this.
There were pre-checked options to include/download/install Google Chrome, and set it as the default browser. Be sure to UNcheck these options unless you actually want Chrome! I also declined the 14-day limited/"trial" version.
Aside from these options, the user interface appears to be very much the same as v6... except: 1) there's now a system tool to enable "game mode" (to stop receiving any notifications that may interfere when you're playing a game).... and 2) the REPAIRS tool --- which was the primary reason I keep SAS around --- has been relegated to resetting the Windows firewall (at least, on the Win10 system I used for this test)... none of the other repairs showed up :-( [We'll have to see if this also happens when I install it on Win7.]
