Last time I checked, SpySweeper detects over 2x as much spyware as Spybot. | |

@attbi.com | Re: Good Move Webroot! Of course, most just look at the numbers and say "look how many it found!!".... without realizing that most are cookies and not spyware programs. Many don't have any idea there is a difference.

No offense, but I don't want tracking cookies either. What good does it do me to have them on my computer? Nothing...hell, they may even be giving away more information than I'd like. IE-Spyad prevents a lot of these cookies from getting inserted, and good riddance. | |

Encino, CA | Re: Good Move Webroot! Personally, I use Spybot/Ad-Aware to detect the presence of a Ad/Spy/Crapware infection. Upon getting back a positive test result, I know that it's time to just wipe the damn system. | |

Prince George, BC | Re: Good Move Webroot! I use spybot/ad-aware and microsoft anti-spyware, no spyware here.
Microsoft's software works great. It is after all just repackaged Giant software which was one of the best on the market. | |
