Re: Good Move Webroot!

Jeesh and someguy,
Oh believe me, I know the difference.
You're not dealing with a noob here.
I lose track of counting how many times Spybot thinks a PC is clean, when SpySweeper will find real, not traces or cookies, spyware running on the PC. Free is good for what it's worth. Witnessing this from a real world, hands on experience with countless PCs speaks for itself....

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.

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.

Yeah...but the whole validation phone-home software gig is crap IMHO. The reasons for that are in another thread though.
