Version: Webroot Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus 5.5
"review is for version 5.5"
Pros: it is still a fair product, but has steadily declined. in it's defense, so has every other so called anti spy app. not sure why they bother. is there a need to come out with a new version 4 times a year. if an all in one scanner like antivir premium or kaspersky can go a year why not spysweeper and spyware doctor. the only malware scanner i run active is kaspersky. the only other scanner i would trust is antivir premium. i do let windows defender run in the background to monitor system changes. other than that. i'm good.
Cons: get's less effective with each new version......... but like i said, so do the rest of the like apps. not sure what they're trying to do. my guess is they wasted resources trying to incorporate av scanners into them. and at this point, i'd trust antivir premium and kaspersky to catch so called spyware every bit as much as a spyware app. virus scanners win, anti spy apps lose.
