| | Re: WebRoot Spy Sweeper Windows firewall and Windows defender do an excellent job keeping hackers out, but you still need an good antivirus program to protect your computer against viruses. There are several very good free antivirus programs. Avast! is one of them and if Spy Sweeper does a good job, keep it.
