Well, I don't want offend any of you.. But Spysweeper does not have a big database like AVG has... AVG has a database which contains proximately 1.1 million signatures of malware. Spysweeper only recognizes maybe about a half a million??? And if we compare the recources, I would say AVG still will beat Spysweeper, because it does not dive to much in to the roots of your system when it does not need too....
AVG is become a bit heavy, but it is stronger and more professional as it ever had been!
As for the extra's, Spysweeper is a little bit more a commercial company than AVG, BECAUSE as far as I know Spysweeper only gives trials and it gives different pieces of software for small stuff, other people would classify this as bloatware.... As for AVG it has a nice clean interface and everything is been integrated nicely...
You get some linkscanner technology for free and multiscanning engine where you can set the speed by yourself!! that is better than SPYSWEEPER!
As for false positives, this can encounter to any antimalware product, remember the major false positive of NORTON??? I lighten it up for you:
A couple of years ago Norton send out some signature updates, but this went horribly wrong because the signatures classified some important windows files as badware and with the result that millions of people including some big companies were forced to reformat their pc's.
Well the moral of this story is always use your brains when an antimalware solution says to you something is an infection, because signatures are static and can't think, but you can!!! quarantine when needed!
About the story Spysweeper vs AVG, it just MY OPINION, they are bot sufficient solutions for protection against the bad guys, don't forget they fight on the same side...
OKey, Have a nice day!
