AdAware finished its test in just
under a minute, while Spy Sweeper kept us waiting for nearly
six. Despite this, Spy Sweeper found exactly the same number of
spy programs as AdAware.
We ran the same test again on a
number of systems and came up with comparable results. However,
when we ran Spy Sweeper on a system that had already been
cleaned by AdAware, the program found 36 programs that AdAware
claimed already to have done away with.
We didn't have the same
problem when we reversed the scenario and ran AdAware on a
system that had already been cleaned by Spy Sweeper. Also, Spy
Sweeper doesn't just wait until you run a scan to clear your PC
of spyware.
It includes a real-time monitor
that looks for newly installed spyware and catches it the moment
it launches. We tested this by installing a program called
Hotbar that we knew came with some spyware, and Spy
Sweeper detected it as soon as it started up.
AdAware can't do this."
