Final Recommendation:

Spy Sweeper was developed predominantly for home use so it is very simple to use. It offers easy to understand directions and has convenient tabs for all its functions. You do not need to be a computer geek to understand and use its interface. It offers an automatic alert when it is time to update. After each scan, it creates an easy to understand report suggesting which threats should be removed. It will also alert you if an application is trying to install a threat on your PC.

Webroot Spy Sweeper 2010 now offers convenient online backup so you can access your files from remote locations.
Some users want spyware software to automatically protect their PCs while others want to do their own scan manually, reviewing the results and determining what is currently threatening their system. Spy Sweeper can accomplish both. It will scan in real time or for the hands on user; it will run under custom settings.

Although Spy Sweeper 2010 did an excellent job, we have a hard time recommending it when XoftSpy SE costs the same and comes with a much smoother scan engine, better customer support and the same low price.
