Reviews of the Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus
-
CNET Review
The Good: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus scored as a solid middle-ranked antispyware app in our testing; it offers free technical support, including live telephone support.
The Bad: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus is optional and doesn't fully implement its antivirus protection; the combined scans are really, really slow; not all of the defense shields, including antirootkit protection, are enabled by default.
The Bottom Line: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus includes the makings of a powerful all-in-one application, but not every security tool has been implemented or enabled by default. Average users would be wise to use a name-brand standalone antivirus app with antispyware instead.
Manufacturer: Webroot Software
Part number: CNETSPYSWEEPER5.3/ANTIVIRUS
