Here is a piece of really good news for 2008. Let me tell you how you can download and use the latest version of Webroot Spy Sweeper for free. The software costs US$29.95.

Spy Sweeper is an anti-spyware software specializing in detecting and safely removing spyware and adware from your PC. Spy Sweeper protects you from spyware’s negative consequences, which include a slower Internet connection, pop-up ad problems, reduced computer performance, or in the worst case, the loss of private information and identity theft.

You have doubt on Spy Sweeper? PC Magazine has this to say for Spy Sweeper 5.5, “It’s more effective at removing spyware than at preventing new installations, but the bottom line is it’ll stop most spies. Multiple layers of protection prevent installation of most malware. Did a good job of cleaning up malware-infested systems.”
