“Spy Sweeper [Enterprise 3.0] impressed judges as an anti-spyware tool largely because of Webroot Software's dedication to spyware research,” said SearchWindowsSecurity.com editors. “Though its competitors in the category boasted a variety of functions, none were able to match Spy Sweeper's effectiveness at finding and removing spyware.
