Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Version: 1.24

Worked when Webroot and Symantec failed

Pros: I struggled for 3 days trying to figure out why my desktop icons and taskbar were disappearing and re-appearing and my laptop was virtually disabled. I scoured the internet and read dozens of "fixes" none of which worked. I finally narrowed the problem down to the fact that explorer was crashing and restarting every 10 seconds. I discovered the reference to the Vundo virus which was never caught by Webroot even after rescanning. I downloaded the Symantec removal tool which scanned and found nothing on my computer. In desperation I called my IT guy who recommended this program. I downloaded and ran it. It found 75 infected files plus infected registry keys, etc. Over 100 items in all. On reboot the laptop booted with all of the desktop icons back as well as the taskbar. I bought the product and so far so good.

Webroot Spy Sweeper

Version: 5.0.5

Webroot's dirty little secret

Pros: Great reviews from PC Mag and PC World where they used new fast computers with lots of memory.

Cons: To say it will play heck with computers with less than 256MB of memory or even less than 512 MB of memory is a gross understatement. Unless you are using a relatively new (faster) computer with more than 1 MB of memory you may find that your computer will slow down to a crawl or even lockup. The company refuses to recognize this problem and does not respond to emails about it.

I have had 20 years of experience with computers and it still took me several hours to figure out the problem i.e. uninstall Spy Sweeper. If it were not for postings on FileForum I might still be working on a solution. Others have had similar or worse experiences.

Since other urls can't be posted here I'd suggest you Google for FileForum Reviews of Webroot Spy Sweeper and see what others have had to say about this well kept secret.
