Best software of the year and technical excellence!,
This review is from: Webroot SpySweeper AntiSpyware - 3 User (CD-ROM)
Since a long time ago, I have had a hard time fighting spyware and adware, I was tired. I used many firewalls, antivirus, and adware like similar software, but I always had some problem. I read about this product in PC Magazine, and gave it a try. Surprisingly, all my problems are gone since I installed this product , and my computer is much faster now without the bad guys or malwares in the computer. This is really a SUPER product and best value for the money you spend.

Great product - better then Kaspersky,
This review is from: Webroot SpySweeper AntiSpyware - 3 User (CD-ROM)
For $10 per license after you install you can upgrade this to AntiSpyware plus Anti-virus. I have had many spyware and very serious viruses which Kaspersky either didn't detect or didn't remove permanently that Spy Sweeper did. Even using Kasperky from an outside scan of the hard drive with another computer. There is nothing on the market better at removing stubborn pests.
The problems with Spy Sweeper are the only downside to the product. They are: 1) Over protective anti-piracy policies- I installed 2 of my 3 users licenses fine. On my 3rd user install it wouldn't take my key and said my license expired. I opened a support ticket and a day later I get a canned reply that totally disregarded all of the information I supplied in the ticket including my license key with issues. I had to call on the phone and wait about 45 minutes to get them to issue me a new key. Which probably means someone was using a key generator and got my key, But that is not my problem. I pay so I don't have to have problems. I mean really do they think that people who pirate software are actually buying their product when they can't us it? No they just go to the next product that will be pirated. Not to mention most people that pirate do it cause they don't have the money for the product in the first place. Usually broke teenagers and early 20 somethings. Once on the phone the support guy said the system tracks how many times you install. Truthfully this was only my 3rd install and there is no possibility anyone got the key from me. 2) Lots of options that could screw your computer up. Don't turn on the Key log Shield or it will freeze up Yahoo messenger and other programs. Don't add any more shields then the default or you WILL have problems. 3) My wife's cousin had the AT&T DSL browser and it would delete the executable every time she installed. I couldn't find a way to stop Spy Sweeper from doing that either (no exception areas to say don't touch this file or application). 4) Doesn't work well with Kaspersky - You have to setup Kaspersy exception rules for Spysweeper.exe and SpysweeperUI files otherwise Spy sweeper will never update. Even then still had problems so I decided to go with their anti-virus. I wouldn't install Spy Sweeper on my computer because of that fact.

Most Effective, But offsets DSL Benefits,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Webroot SpySweeper AntiSpyware - 3 User (CD-ROM)
SpySweeper has kept my 5 home networked PCs free of Spyware for the last four years. Nonetheless, every year, I have tried a competitor when my subscription to Spysweeper has expired. Why do I try to replace perfectly effective spyware? Because it is PAINFULLY slow in pulling up websites, more than offsetting the small fortune I pay for fast DSL access. Why do I return to Spysweeper? Because the competitors are not yet effective in keeping the Spyware out to the same degree that Spysweeper does. As soon as I find a competitor that is as effective as Spysweeper and less piggish, I am gone. Until then, Spysweeper remains (alas) best in breed (although Trend for Vista is ALMOST giving it a good run).
Context: my machines are blazing, all with dual core, 4 GB of RAM, and hard wired with T2 access. Hint: sometimes when I am really frustrated, I will disable Spysweeper for a few hours to cruise the internet and then reactivate Spysweeper to clean up the mess I have collected. It is with great disappointment that I therefore recommend Spysweeper.
