Webroot Spy Sweeper ReviewThe best real-time spyware protection I have used - Version: 4.0.4.430, 8/17/2005 07:23PM PST

Webroot Spy Sweeper is the only program out there other than Microsoft Antispyware that really has strong real-time protection. Ad-Aware and Spybot both do a great job of cleaning a system up, but neither does a very good job of preventing spyware infestations. With version 4.0, Spy Sweeper also runs correctly on multiple user accounts on Windows XP, even limited users! And unlike Microsoft Antispyware, Spy Sweeper 4.0 can sweep cookies. Cookie detection is also better than in Ad-Aware and other programs since it can differentiate between bad cookies and benign cookies. My only complaint is the lack of spyware protection for alternative browsers like Firefox.

This software works great. It finds a whole lot more adware and spyware than the competition. And yes, although it does cost some money, it is well worth it. I look at it this way... At least if they are sure to make some money, they can have a qualified staff always updating the definitions. Would you stick with free anti-virus software? Heck no. Its just not reliable enough.
