I have tested both GIANT AntiSpyware and Webroots Spysweeper..
But I don't know which one to keep.. Nor do I want ot have both...
I just want your opinion as to which you prefer, or just the things you have heard about them. . .
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
(If needed further information do let me know)
Spysweeper its proven to be good.
but still testing Giant to see if its any good.
After i ran Ad-aware and SpyBot then SpySweeper..i then ran Giant Antispyware and it found 14 more entries on my computer...it has a lot of great features to it...i also use Pest Patrol which somebody from here sent me for which i am grateful and i find that it works better than SpySweeper also...one draw back that i found with Giant Antispyware...you will get some false positives...so you have to watch what you remove...as for example it said Kazaa lite had Spyware and to remove it...i think that regular Kazaa is in their database,so any thing that shows up with Kazaa in it would presumed to be spyware..other than that i find it to be a great program along with Pest Patrol. :cool:

Ran Giant again ,it found more kazza and emule files but says to ignore . :)
Limewire too as a false positive .
For my giant, it says my subscription will expire in 15 days:(:helpsmili
try uninstalling and reinstalling when it does :P
also, be sure to keep the reference file before you uninstall :)

"Your CD Key is valid but doesnt appear to be in our database, please call technical support"
Haha, so I uninstalled it on the count I dont have it legit, and I didnt want to run into the AdAwatch problem that I ran into a year ago.
Just get Giant, Adaware, and Spybot and you are good to go.
Just downloaded/installed Giant after reading this thread had never heard of it be for
Looks good,think I'll keep it...hope the serial I found for it holds up
The experation date for my SpySweeper (v3.2.150) keeps changing. When I installed it, it was 12/05/05, the next launch was 11/01/05, now it's 11/20/05. (Of course I'm using a pirated version.)
Thats a good thing. ;)Quote:
