I even read in another forum that spy sweeper was trying to install adware during UPDATE. Screen and uncheck it and maybe really getting free of askBar, but how can you now really be AWARE of what kind of background activities Spy sweeper is performing? Maybe so let's make it a big MAYBE if Bullguard was notĬonflicting with spy sweeper I could get the askbar install So Bullguard gets all wound up and if it's a false positive I dont mind, I'ts a tool bar anyway and then I say to myself ok, askBar stuff is gone But what happens at the end of installation? Spy Sweeper tries to allocate askBarSetup.exe in TEMP again! ( see screenshot of first message) Installation proceeds ( and YES I choose for CUSTOM installation) but the askBar install screen is not there anymore (so nothing to uncheck), probably because of Bullguard! In the very beginning of the installation(SpySweeperSNRSetup_EN.exe) Bullguard throws the "askBarSetup.exe" fromTEMP into quarantine I decided to disable Windows defender and try other softwares such as Spy Sweeper. i criticize spy sweeper for the path they chose to take, not the scanner.Ĭlick to expand.The point is that I have a new system with programs that i'm using for the first time such as Vista and Bullguard. it was all about the money, and to heck with everything else. You can call it "throwing them under the bus", i call it criticizing.
#WEBROOT SPY SWEEP HOW TO#
a newbie is not going to know how to do a custom installation.
#WEBROOT SPY SWEEP DOWNLOAD#
they know that if the option is "opt-out" that there is a certain percentage of newbies that will download it by mistake.
a newbie isn't going to realize they've downloaded it until it's too late, and probably won't know how to remove it either, so they will be stuck with it. there shouldn't be any tricks to try to put it on a users machine. None of these companies should be pushing their toolbars. Is the ask toolbar still spying? if so, then they are hypocritical. it was a poor choice to align with the ask toolbar in the first place, because of it's bad reputation. if the ask toolbar is still spying, then that makes the offense that much more reprehensible. i have been asking for quite some time whether it has "reformed/rehabilitated", truthfully, i don't know. You do have a very good point about the ask toolbar. C: Is too stupid or aggressive to be able to tell a real threat from a potential threat. Is Spy Sweeper any good? That's opinion based on individual results, but let's not throw a company under the bus because some AV A: Flags an FP.
#WEBROOT SPY SWEEP SOFTWARE#
All you saw with the TEMP thing was the software unpacking it's files to PREPARE for installation, not actually installing, software does that, it's a fact of life. If you choose "Custom" installation and UNCHECK the toolbar install OPTION, it does NOT get installed. It's the same thing as Google's toolbar and Google shares a hell of a lot more about you than Ask probably ever will. It's a simple toolbar that uses Ask.com's search engine as an OPTION, it does not "take over" anything. It's not some wicked software that's going to toss everything there is to know about you to everyone who wants to get there hands on it (your ISP on the other hand does do that). * Receive clear, easy-to-understand notifications when new spyware threats are detectedĭownload: Spy Sweeper 5.5.Point here is that the toolbar is NOT a trojan, it's a toolbar that may or may NOT "spy" on you. * Your shields summary page makes it simple to see at a glance which shields are on or off
