Webroot antivirus with antispyware 6.0 free download

Webroot's memory sweep at the end of installation removed traces of about two-thirds of the samples, but the full scan invariably found more traces to clean up. A few threats interfered with my ability to install the product or run a scan, but installing and scanning in Safe Mode solved those problems.

And when the malware removal process disabled network connectivity on two systems, I just had Windows repair the connection. That's pretty simple. Webroot's scanner is not the fastest. It took 45 minutes to scan my standard clean test system, and longer on malware-infested systems. The average is closer to 30 minutes, and some do the job in even less time. On the other hand, Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 6 took much, much longer—as much as 2 hours on some malware-infested systems.

WAVAS didn't miss a single malware sample. It detected every one and removed the essential executable files for almost all of them. Wiping out executables earns full credit even when a malware scanner leaves tons of data files or Registry items behind. If it tries to remove the malware but misses some executables, it still gets half credit. The majority of the test systems needed a reboot to finish cleaning up active malware.

On restart the Spy Sweeper Early File Remover tool runs before Windows is fully loaded in order to wipe out malware that might otherwise resist. It seemed to be highly effective. Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware 6's overall score came to 9. Only Spyware Doctor scored higher on this test, with 9. WAVAS beat all of the other standalone antispyware products and security suites that I've tested with this malware collection. On a parallel test using commercial keyloggers in place of actual malware, Webroot's software scored a respectable 8.

Most products don't do as well on this test. Spyware Doctor, for example, scored just 6. Out of all the products tested, only Norton Internet Security scored higher, though its score of 9. To keep malicious software from infecting a clean system, Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware 6 deploys over a dozen "shields"—software agents that detect and prevent specific types of malicious behavior.
