Webroot Spysweeper just keeps loading, It was working fine until yesterday.
Any suggestions?
 
Thought it might be something like that. Thanks. I always keep hoping there's an easier solution.
 
Reinstalling is a pretty easy solution :wink:

Do you have a good antivirus program? If you do, I would just uninstall Spysweeper. It's not a bad program but good AV programs now do spyware, adware, malware, you name it so it's a bit redundant and uses a lot of the computer's resources to run both.
 
Can you suggest one? Webroot Spysweeper is the one that Best Buy said they recommended as the best for the money. :huh:

I have it right now and it's pissing me off. Every time it says I should update it I get stupid errors that it didn't install correctly and to re install etc etc but I just get the same errors again or new ones.
 
I use a corporate version of Symantec b/c I get it free, but it's kind of a memory hog (thought MUCH better in every way than the Norton products they sell for personal/home use). Nod32 seems to have a lot of happy customers, updates frequently, and isn't a memory hog.
 
Thanks, I may try that one. Webroot was suggested as a non-memory hog too, and I was actually happy with it until it expired and I started updating. The updates have NEVER worked for me, even when I followed all their suggestions for correcting the problems.
 
It's working again. Why, I don't know. Have Trend as the AV. Best Buy does push Webroot.
 
I finally uninstalled the worthless non-working Webroot update it kept telling me to download (uninstalled the entire thing) then re-downloaded the older version I bought last year I think in store. Everything fine now. I will stay away when they tell me to update now.
