Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus is one of the top technologies available on the web which aim to protect users' computers against numerous kinds of threats. But from now on, Spy Sweeper is more than a simple security solution as
it received several new features supposed to defend the users. Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware & Firewall contains exactly what its name says: antivirus, antispyware and firewall. The antivirus is the famous Sophos Antivirus while the Webroot Spy Sweeper technology is also an important part of the security suite. The firewall is especially meant to block web attacks and dangerous attempts over the computer.

In case you are a Spy Sweeper customer, you can migrate to Webroot AntiVirus With Antispyware & Firewall for only $10. The clients of Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus can get the new technology for free, the update being really recommended if you intend to remain protected against Trojan files, spyware, viruses, adware, malware and most kinds of threats.

"Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware & Firewall is an important upgrade to your security. While your current Webroot Spy Sweeper protects you from prying software designed to expose areas of your life you would rather keep private, Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware & Firewall guards your system from viruses that can crash your hard disk, destroy data and make your computer act erratically. Plus, the addition of an optional firewall blocks out an additional level of threats," it is mentioned in the product's FAQ.

Now here's an important question: what if I already installed a standalone firewall from another software company? Do I have to disable it and use the Webroot firewall? The answer would be no but Webroot Software advises the consumers to use their full suite of utilities.

"The Webroot Desktop Firewall is award winning and provides protection from identity and data theft, hackers and other types of unauthorized access to your computer. Webroot Desktop Firewall is an optional, standalone component of the Webroot AntiVirus product."
