I agree Spy Sweeper's among the best at keeping trash off your PC, which is why I'm cheesed off right now at having to uninstall it. The latest version does not play well with Roxio CD/DVD Creator -- at least not if you're still running Roxio 6, like me. Broke the darn thing so bad it couldn't find or remember where my DVD burner was. And since they don't support # 6 now but keep telling me to upgrade to 9, there just ain't no other fix.  AVG has a spyware add- on to their free antivirus I could use, and since I had a trial copy which just expired, I know it works very well.  But goshdarn it all, I only bought Spy Sweeper w/Anti Virus a couple months back, drives me mad to think I'll have to buy a product I really shouldn't need.

Or even more expensive, buy Roxio 9. Which still might not work right with either Spy Sweeper or AVG. :-(
