The Bottom Line Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.3 with Antivirus includes the makings of a powerful all-in-one application, but not every security tool has been implemented or enabled by default. Average users would be wise to use a name-brand standalone antivirus app with antispyware instead. Although Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 scored well in CNET tests, it installs the Ask.com toolbar, which seems odd for antispyware product to do. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 continues to outshine its competition with its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection. At $20, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, and also one of the very best. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 is light and fast and consistently wins detection awards against the competition; it's worthy of our Editors' Choice designation.
