Re: Spysweeper

It didn't play well on my system either. Possibly a conflict with NIS 2006. What other real-time security do you have running?

Some behavior I observed after a clean install of Spy Sweeper 5.0.5.1286, all shields enabled:

- Memory usage values (for all processes) in task manager spontaneously shot up to ridiculous levels about ten minutes after boot, with nothing extra loaded. They didn't add up to memory use, but that too was significantly increased compared to last version.

- NAV scan time increased by about 12 minutes, very unusual.

- System freeze during ad-aware scan, task manager indicated Commit Charge around limit (never saw that before). Had to do a manual shut down.

- Lastly, general system functioning seemed off ... a bit choppy.

I filed a support ticket and reverted to the previous version.

It sounds like a problem I had and reported when I was testing the beta version of 5.0. Webroot fixed the problem (at least for me) very quickly.
But with the public release of 5.0.5.1286 I too have noticed my system is "a little off" but so far not enough for me to revert back to an older version.
