Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5
User reviews of Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5
It's available with or without the Anti-Virus.
Pros: The anti-virus add on just costs $10.00 more. Where I had issues with the last version (supposedly compatible with "Vista"), this version has resolved the problem of "Vista' compatibility. This application is an effective anti spyware product with several active protection and scan options. But it still lags in comparison to "Spy Emergency 2007". This version runs fine with "Vista" and the company offers good tech support except after a new release. Everybody is calling them then.
Cons: It's a resource hog and noticeably slows system startup and other applications like "Firefox". It's not that bad on ram usage but is terrible with your processor , even on a powerful computer. The signature data base is over 188,000 but thats light next to other, like applications. "Webroot" is working on their software, trying to improve them, but this one still isn't ready for prime time. Because of these cons, I can't recommend this product.
This thing is a load!
It took 45 minutes to do a quick scan on a drive with 27.8 GB used. I uninstalled it.
not compatible
spy sweeper 5.5 not compatible with av like the old versions of it but it a good program just kind lags
