  The Good: Spy Sweeper 5.2 now includes some (but not all) aspects of the Sophos antivirus engine.

  The Bad: Spy Sweeper 5.2 provides only on-demand antivirus protection, doesn't guard against active e-mail and IM viruses and worms until your system is infected, and makes rootkit detection an optional scan.

  The Bottom Line: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.2 is the first antispyware application to add antivirus protection, but that protection isn't complete. Upgrade to or buy the antispyware-only edition, not the antivirus edition.
