THIS PROGRAM FINES THINGS THAT MY OTHER MISS.... OR ITS MAKING THINGS UP LOL
BEEN USEING PROGRAM FOR A WHILE VERY HAPPY
 Don't Buy This. It seriously crashed both my computers August 14, 2010
PqP (Cambridge, MA USA)
I have used WebRoot's SpySweeper for years. Mostly, to catch and remove spyware. This continued up to version 6. Then, running it, I was informed that there's a new version 7. Having previously trusted SpySweeper, I updated both my computers at the same time.
Bad mistake!!!
What got installed was a new program that just grabbed control of my computer and started running stuff. Previous versions allowed me to precisely control what it should do. This new one has no options, no way to stop it, no way to uninstall it. It got both computers (XP Pro SP3) into a state where the only thing I could do was a total disk reload from a months-old Acronis backup.
Lost more than a day of work restoring the machines, and lost months of data. This was a disaster.
Speedy receipt of the software. July 10, 2010

The Spy Sweeper software was received very timely and cost about 1/3 the cost of renewing directly with the Webroot company. Very timely, and low cost option.
 Unresolved compatibility problems slow your computer, no service May 9, 2010

UNRESOLVED COMPATIBILITY (IRQ) PROBLEMS SL0W YOUR COMPUTER DOWN, POOR OR NO SERVICE
Unless you plan to run this program only to clear your computer of viruses, having it download at each boot is a bad idea. It takes almost 15 minutes to boot this program, too long a wait time for turning your computer on, from completely off.
And, if you use it while you are surfing, it will slow your computer down to a crawl. I have had it for years, and never use it while using my P.C., rather only separately to do a virus search and kill. It seems to work fine for that, but takes a long time, about 30 minutes. I suppose that's OK, because it is doing a thorough job. It is also good at getting updates and supplements automatically.
Boot up sometimes also gets "bound up" and the IRQ problems with this program show up, meaning that you end up re-booting in order to get started. If you do ANYTHING during the boot process...which can take 10-15 minutes...you are sunk...you will have to re-boot.
I have tried to discuss this with the people at Webroot, but they never returned my e-mail. They are supposed to have fixed this, but so far have not. I would rather try another anti-spy program. I don't mind when a company has "problems" with their programs...but ignoring me IS a problem.
I think Webroot has good products, but they are cutting back on their service and not doing adequate beta testing...choosing to ignore problems instead of dealing with them.
