I'm Thinking of Buying Spy Sweeper

Ken7 · 06-22-2006, 02:43 PM

Would purchasing a program like Webroot’s Spy Sweeper be a good investment considering that right now I only use free anti-spyware programs.

My current list is:
Ad-Aware SE
Spybot Search and Destroy
CCleaner (Jsut Downloaded)
Ewido (Just downloaded)
Spyware Blaster

I also use Firefox as my default browser and sometmes use IE7 beta and Opera.

Thanks for any help and advice about this

Spysweeper is a great program however I would not purchase it, I think you have all you need I use the same programs. If by some chanch you do get infected you can post a hijackthis log and thats free also!

A couple of other great free programs are A-squared and windows defender!

I would just stick to a free one myself, it does a good job.

I pair up Spybot Search and Destroy with NoAdware, works great for me.
