Re: Who to use?
Sure. All indications are that the MS/Giant product performs significantly better than SpySweeper, but it's nice to have both. For those 4 or 5 people on MSN dial-up, at least.

Well that's interesting. They could have waited a few weeks and saved the trouble. I wonder if MSN Dial-Up staff even knew about the GIANT deal.

Speaking of microsoft (this is just an FYI not a flame here) MSN just started giving out a branded version of Spy Sweeper to its members for free. A step in the right direction if you ask me and a good going to MSN.
"INTRODUCING WEBROOT SPY SWEEPER FOR MSN DIAL-UP*
If you spend a lot of time on the Internet, you've probably heard of spyware.
Spyware is software that gets into your computer through innocent-looking e-mail, and can radically disrupt your computing experience, take up valuable computer resources or monitor your computer's activity. Some spyware is even designed to dig up your personal information, such as your social security or credit card numbers.
Now you can help protect your computer from spyware download Webroot® Spy SweeperTM for MSN® Dial-up. Spy Sweeper for MSN Dial-up detects and removes many unwanted spyware programs, and is included at no extra cost with your MSN Dial-up subscription. That's a $29.95 value available at no additional charge to our members." |
