My copy of MS Anti-Spyware just went nuts. All of a sudden, it has started to conflict with Webroot SpySweeper. I have had them both on the system working without a problem until today. Now each time SpySweeper attempts to do anything at all MS Anti-Spyware wants permission. I click ALLOW and REMEMBER but it does NEITHER. Same thing over and over again.

Which one did I ditch? MS of course.

Spysweeper is much better than MSAntiSpyware but MSA while not removing many things by default is at least free - apart from the devil/soul thing.

A new version was released yesterday,and your old one may have updated itself automatically and subsequently reset your previous settings.

I just removed Spy Sweeper from my system and went back to just MS-AntiSpyware. I have no feeling of being in danger. Thanks for the new link, it is appreciated greatly.
