Software Reviews of Webroot Spy Sweeper - Windows
Customer Review: Webroot SpySweeper works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used 3 different versions of Webroot Spysweeper now for over 6 months without major issues.
Other reviewers complain about the [...] toolbar, when other software vendors do the same thing for Google,
MSN, Yahoo and others. If you would watch your installation screens as carefully as you should, you can easily
see these unwanted "add-ons" and uncheck the box before installing the actual program by disk or download. You
have no business complaining about your own negligence and blaming Webroot.
For Windows 98 and Me, I'm using v4.0.3 from disk, and will upgrade this to v5.5 because of limited definitions.
Spysweeper for MSN v6.1.0.124 was downloaded to Windows XP SP3 w/IE 7.0 with only the installation failing first
try. A call to Webroot technical support was made, the uninstall program downloaded to my desktop, program removed
and then re-installed without ANY issues since.
SpySweeper v6.1.0.145 from disk was installed for XP SP3, w/IE 7.0 and has worked just fine, no issues whatsoever.
The higher v6 and above versions block many kinds of adware, tracking cookies, and other surfing vermin from even
being placed on my computer, a welcome and safer improvement from the usual quarantine and remove later from other
definitely inferior products.
I can recommend Webroot SpySweeper without reservation to anyone who wants a superior anti-spyware program for XP.
