Blacklaser 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I agree with the mod, some more insight into why you think it is that good would be helpful. So far I'm using Spybot, but I'm always on the lookout for better alternatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwuvcookies 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 I think my school uses this on their network. I don't know how good it is. I haven't personally used it myself. I guess the more spyware scanners you have the better your computer can be safe from prying eyes. What makes you say this is the best spyware scanner???

I used ''Spy Sweeper, Spybot, Ad-aware, mccafe anti-spy, microsoft anti-spyware and others'' and the one that caught more spywares in my computer is the spy sweeper.

Blacklaser 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Sounds interesting enough, might give it a try.. although the "free" factor is a huge plus for spybot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wasser 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2006 Well, I used Webroot Spy Sweeper by recommendation of a friend and I have to agree is very good:Pros: It has a cool interface, it's very flexible (you can tell him to analyze only what you want) doesn't bother you a lot with messages except? (Read cons)Cons: When you install something in general it bothers you with messages like "a new program is being installed, do you authorize it?" and ?a file has been setup to start with windows, do you authorize it??, I know it is for security, but that of new programs being installed without your notice doesn't happen a lot now and the ?file started with windows? is very unlike for a normal user to recognize what is it (i.e. when you install MSN Messenger, it asks you if you let CTFMON.exe to start with windows, a normal user won?t know what is that?). And the other con it has is that despite the interface is very nice; it's a little heavy, not like Norton, but heavier than Microsoft Anti-Spyware... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2006 Spy Sweeper so far has worked the best for me for everything. It seems that whenever I get a virus I'll try 10 different virus scanners and the only one that will get to the source is Spy Sweeper and it will get rid of them for good. This included a keylogger and some Internet Explorer bug thing. I really think it's the best way to go Anti-Virus wise. It seems to work the best for me.

ProtoMan 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 I have used Spy Sweeper before. It sure is the best anti-spyware , it can block a lot of annoying advertising web site from acessingmy computer. I highly recommend that you should use this anti-spyware software. A lot of other company's products can't block them and Spy Sweeper also has a very large database , too.So I think it is the best.
