New name, better protection

Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus is now Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware & Firewall. The software still includes both the award-winning Sophos� AntiVirus and the top-rated Webroot� Spy Sweeper technologies, and now includes powerful Desktop Firewall protection.

Any unusual attempts to access your computer or run programs without your knowledge are blocked immediately. Users can also customize their security with rules to restrict or allow any program.

Windows Vista compatible

Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware & Firewall is fully compatible with Windows Vista™.

Is this program by ITSELF just as good as McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008? Or Norton Internet Security 2008?

OR should I get this and combine it with one of the above mentioned programs? And if so does anyone know if they're compatible?

Hi CassilineKnight; Welcome to GSF.

Using multiple, same function security programs will cause conflicts and possibly make your system unstable.

We are talking Security Suites here; AV/AS+Firewall.

As for which, who is better? It's up to the user to do the research and decide what suits their system best. Not all products run well on all systems, but of course almost all vendors claim to be the best!

Good luck;
