Yeah, I tend to run all my scans on a Sunday night - Spybot, Ad-Aware, SpySweeper and the Zonealarm AS, and they do hog all my cpu time. I run Spybot and Adaware first, then the other two when they're done. Can't do any more than that or it all goes horribly wrong. For reference, I'm using a 14 month old P4 3.2 HT with 2gb RAM...

IIRC the beta of 5 did this and maybe the first release version but I think they patched it. I like SpySweeper in that it does it job very well but I've found it to be somewhat of a resource hog. It seems to require a very fast CPU and lot of RAM to not be noticed. Running it on the same system with Symantec's NAV or NIS 2006 leaves the end user with little resources for themselves :o) What is your experience? -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jon Tydda Anyone out there use Webroot Spysweeper version 5? I've had it installed for a while, and it's pretty good, but I've just discovered 65000 temporary files in it's folder... they're all 0k in size, so it's only using 17mb, but still, 65k files is a lot... _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net
