 PC Tools Spy Sweeper 5.5  It's tempting to think you can escape spyware, by avoiding the seedy side of the Internet, and only visiting respectable, up-market sites. But that would be a mistake. Alicia Keys MySpace page was hacked last November, for instance, and visitors could then have been infected with a variety of malware. Advertising servers have been used to serve spyware directly to visitors on big-name sites. And in the worst cases, just viewing a page has been enough to infect your PC. There's no escape from spyware, then, and sooner or later you're going to be attacked - which is why you need Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5. At first glance the program looks much like any other antispyware tool. There's the large signature database, for instance, helping it detect and remove over 200,000 individual threats. The on-demand scanner can perform an in-depth check of your entire system. But if you're in a hurry, then special quick or custom sweeps can give you a verdict in just a few minutes.

 You've bought a firewall, chosen an antivirus tool, and added a spyware detector for good measure, so it's not surprising that you feel your PC is secure. But perhaps there's something you've forgotten? These layers of protection may keep you safe from remote attackers, but anyone with physical access to your PC (and if it's stolen, that could be anyone at all) can still browse your hard drive and uncover everything it contains.
