![]() Rating: - Webroot's Going DownhillI have been a satisfied Webroot customer for five years now, but I'm afraid our relationship is nearing termination. As others have said, the 'nag' screens are getting ridiculous. They also automatically enroll you in auto renewal whenever you upgrade one of their products and only tell you about it in the fine print. It's easy enough to opt out, but still. My mom had been using Spy Sweeper successfully in conjunction with Trend Micro Antivirus for a couple of years and ... Read More Rating: - Do not buy this product!Like many reviewers here I had to remove this product from my computer. After installation everything slowed to a crawl and frequently froze completely. Now I'm far from a computer expert but everything was back to normal as soon as I removed it. The only reason it has one star is Amazon won't allow reviews with no stars.

Hackers have learned to hide viruses in cookies and trojans instead of sending them out on their own. With Spy Sweeper you have very good protection against trojans and cookies and excellent protection against highjackers; ... Read More Rating: - Version 5.5 slowed my PC to a crawlAs many people in these reviews have claimed, version 5 is a real hog. After installing and running the application for a few days, I was forced to remove it. It slowed everything to a crawl. Switching between windows took 2 seconds. My CPU usage was usually at 90 to 100 percent. Fortunately for me, the disk I purchased had version 4.5 available as well. I have been running that version for about a day without the same problems. I would recommend to my friends and family to avoid version 5. Read More Browse for similar items by category:
