Re: Spysweeper
I installed it on three computers and what a disaster. Even now that I have removed Spy Sweeper, my browsers are so slow that I feel like I am using a dial-up instead of cable. Now I have to find a fix for what ever is still holding up my browser. Anyone have any ideas?
On a scale of 1-10 I would give Spy Sweeper 5.0 a (minus) -5. What a waste of money and time! |

1 edit | well i hope they resolve it soon. i bought my 1st copy of it few months ago and have been pleased until this release. yet this is the way things go with programs that change frequently. just my 2 cents. i know this i would rather keep the all shields working in 4.5 than disable them in 5. this release will most surely hurt the popularity of spysweeper. |

*bangs head on desk* I've got all protection turned off ....and yet when I'm done using it I can't even end the service ?? so it's setting there wasteing 45megs of ram :| *uninstalls and goes back to 4.5.709*. I HATE this at least with 4.5 I could close the service so it wouldnt be sucking memory when it wasnt being used *I am a geek*.

tommichael,
You might want to try running the clean up tool Webroot has in their support document:
"I am receiving an error message after installing Spy Sweeper 5.0"
»support.webroot.com/ics/support/···ptID=776
You'll find it under Top Spy Sweeper 5.0 Articles. |

Romeo,
They added a Self-Protect Shield to this version. To turn it off you have to ...
Press and hold Ctrl+Alt while double clicking the Spy Sweeper banner at the top of the Home window.
Choose option: Turn SPS Off.
If the program worked with any sort of ease, it might actually be a nice feature  |

Re: Deleted 5.0.5. Major slowdown problem solved.
I received a reply from Webroot. Here's what they said:
"Please open Spy Sweeper click on Shields click the Windows System tab. Here uncheck the Keylogger shield at the bottom. This should return the performance level to your computer, but in no way diminishes the functionality of Spy Sweeper." |
