Reviews of the Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5
-
CNET Review
The Good: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 scored as an upper-ranked antispyware application in our testing; the company offers free technical support, including live telephone support.
The Bad: If you're not vigilant, Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 installs the Ask.com toolbar; doesn't provide a full-function trial; antivirus protection is $10 more; scans are slow.
The Bottom Line: Although Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 scored well in CNET tests, it installs the Ask.com toolbar, which seems odd for antispyware product to do.
Manufacturer: Webroot Software
Part number: CNETSPYSWEEPER55
