Re: WebRoot Spy Sweeper

SpySweeper. on my older single core CPU computer (AMD Athlon XP 3200 with 2
gig of PC3200 RAM), puts a big drag on the system when I have it set to run
automatically, especially during startup. Therefore I run it upon demand. I
have put SpySweeper on new dual core computers with 1 gig of RAM and S/S
does not have the same effect.

I guess it is time I consider upgrading! (-:
