Do not buy! Takes up too much of CPU's power.

    None

Cons
    Constantly Updates, Slows Down CPU, Always Runs in the Background, Nearly impossible to uninstall

The Webroot Spy Sweeper installed quickly with ease. The program sneakily tried to install an extra google tool-bar to my Internet browser, but I prevented it. The program also had to go through the installation process twice, after downloading updates.

I eventually had to delete this program because it would constantly slow down my computer due to its constant need to update itself while running in the background. This program literally at times had my Windows Vista CPU gauge running 100%, when solely running on its own, a travesty that I should never have seen on my 500 GB hard-drive, 3GB RAM PC.

I had a terrible battle trying to delete this program because it wanted my other Vista users to verify the uninstallment and would not unistall unless disabled. I had multiple struggles trying to find the exit option, which was not highlighted as an available function at times, and could not stop the program from updating or running in the background. Do not buy this program if you have Norton, Norton does everything this program does and then some. Forget Spy Sweeper, play it safe with Norton
