PSA spysweeper

[Corporate Thug]

i have soo much adware on my computer that i cant even use IE

i finally decided to try spysweeper, we always recommend it to customers at work

this is the best spyware program i have ever used, removed all the adware, and now my computer/internet is a lot faster.

btw, ADAWARE does nothing for me

I've never used that before, I'll have ot check it out. I never get spyware anymore besides a few cookies either way. i have always used a combination of spybot and adaware, they do a good job when I use them for other's PC's.

Spysweeper is not in the guide becuase it is not free

Spysweeper 3.2 is free for 30 days, and you can simply uninstall/reinstall it if you want to be cheap. Not to put it in your guide simply because it is not free seems rather odd, especially when it is a more thorough removal tool than ad-aware & spybot combined.

Maybe you can simply edit your guides text to read "All programs used are free to home users, except for Spy Sweeper which is only free for 30 days. Please read the individual program license to see what other groups (if any) the program is free for."

I have have been told that SpywareBlaster is a good product.

Ad-Aware is best for popup based malware.
