Hey all,
Just to let you know - i have been using the registered version of SpySweeper (v3.0) for a few weeks now and have found it to be an excellent little app that has kept me clear of spyware.
It automatically blocks cookies, locks your Homepage, blocks common ad sites, prevents new programs from loading at startup that are not wanted and permanently monitors your system like an Anti-Virus does.
If your interested, you can get it here,
