Software reviews: Spy Sweeper 5.x

Performs As It Should

Spy Sweeper is my favorite anti-spyware program, because it works better than similar software and has so many features to protect my system.

Some might say that Spy Sweeper is bloated because of the amount of features it has to offer, but I disagree. If it didn't have the features it does, Spy Sweeper wouldn't be what it is - the best. These features include shields that protect my favorites, start folder, and browser from being hijacked, among many others.

I have never noticed much slowing down of my system with the use of Spy Sweeper's scheduled sweep. That is very important to me because I am at my computer several times a day at different hours. I expect to use my computer when I want without having to wait for a sweep to finish.

One feature I wish could be changed in Spy Sweeper is the alerts. An alert window shows up above my system tray and I have to click on it to show the actual alert. I would like to be able to click 'allow' or 'deny' right from that popup alert. It just slows me down having to do that.

Overall, it performs as it should, but, I would like to be able to allow or deny a change without having to open the program.

4 out of 5 stars
