Just a note to anyone using Spy Sweeper.
I'm finding i'm unable to check my Virgin email accounts in Outlook 2007 if the Email attachment setting is enabled in Spy Sweeper. If anyone has a work around please let me know.

It's working fine on Vista Home Premium on my laptop which has Intel duo core 2 and 2gig of RAM. Doesn't seem to slow it down at all.
Thanks for the Rep Bri. You might want to checkout the Free AVG Pro link that Mike posted earlier also.

Re: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 FREE - limited offer
I tried Spy Sweeper and found it very slow and cumbersome. I did a full scan, it found nowt, so I've uninstalled it as it seemed to take a dog's age to load up at system startup.

Re: Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 FREE - limited offer
I just tried it, but it was locking everything else up, and not even moving itself, the time elapsed was the only thing working.
it took me 30 mins to uninstall it, so now doing a virus scan, as that prog was really horrible.

It's actually listed as 1 of the very best Spyware products so you shouldn't have caught anything nasty from it and the manufacturer is a good one.
It installed really quicky here on 2 machines and so far seems to be working fine. (touch wood)
