I have used Adaware Pro for years to help keep my computer clean from spyware. When I installed SpySweeper on my dad's computer it found things that Adaware just totally missed. I highly recommend SpySweeper to anyone who wants a quality

Used Spy Sweeper for years but recent version slowed computer to a crawl, when 6.0 updated to 6.1. Had to uninstall 6 weeks after renewing subscription (too late for a refund). Once uninstalled, PC ran much better. No longer recommend.

Latest update (6.1.0) is like slamming into a wall. Renewed on 4/1/09 for the 4th year; had to uninstall today 5/9/09. Once I did, all was well. Great features do not matter if there is no functionality. Unfortunately, can no longer recommend.
