Question What's the real deal with SpySweeper (free version)? - December 18th, 2003, 11:30 AM

We just started using Spysweeper because SpyBot (which is an amazing piece of software in my opinion) wasn't getting all of the Spyware and/or adware that crept in with screensavers, themes, etc. After just one use, Spysweeper said it couldn't load its log and I'd have to re-install, which I did. This could have been a glitch, though, right?

My question: How long is the "free" version really good for and how good is it? :shy

the unofficial software comes with spyware, unless you pay for the version which is free and gets rid of spyware. I wouldnt doubt it on cnet.

Perhaps "Spy Sweeper" generates random false results to appear to be doing more....?

Im glad you posted this...Yesterday, All 4 of my spyware programs had an update.
(Spybot, AdAware,SpySweeper,and Spyware Blaster).
After updating all of them ...I began my sweep....
Spybot.....all clear.
AdAware....found 1.
Spysweeper....found 2 more. ...hmmm.
(Spyware Blaster is passive so I don't yet know it's increased effectivness.)
Yup..it's important to run more than one program...and yes ...Spysweeper IS an excellent program, worth "acquiring".
The 'free' version lasts 10 sweeps.. I believe.

btw ..@ccs dude..Webroot (Spysweeper's parent co.) is fairly credible...however, maybe you have a point???... who knows.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking that as well. I saw a lot of results of things that had already been removed by SpyBot as well as other random ones.

Thanks again,
