I'm not familiar with this app, although I've heard of it and have seen some positive press. I'm happy with Spybot and Ad-Aware myself.

However, my GF's notebook was acting strange and had the symptoms of a spyware infection. She has Spy Sweeper installed with a subscription and it's set to update weekly, she ran scans regularly.

After much arguing and heated debate, I convinced her to download and install AdAware, which prompty discovered 3 pieces of spyware.

Before removing them, I had her manually update SpySweeper and run a scan (took probably 4x as long as Ad-Aware). It didn't find any of the spyware, although it did locate most of the tracking cookies AA also found.

So I've converted her to AA, but I'm curious as to anyone's experience with Spy Sweeper... Personal security apps (firewalls, spyware etc.) are one area where I think the freeware often matches or exceeds commercial offerings, and I'm wondering if this just reinforces my opinion or I'm mistaken...

Interested in anyone's $0.02...!

Cheers,
KV
