Digg!
I have used WebRoot’s SpySweeper for years. Mostly, to catch and remove spyware. This continued up to version 6. Then, running it, I was informed that there’s a new version 7. Having previously trusted SpySweeper, I updated both my computers at the same time.
Bad mistake!!!
What got installed was a new program that just grabbed control of my computer and started running stuff. Previous versions allowed me to precisely control what it should do. This new one has no options, no way to stop it, no way to uninstall it. It got both computers (XP Pro SP3) into a state where the only thing I could do was a total disk reload from a months-old Acronis backup.
Lost more than a day of work restoring the machines, and lost months of data. This was a disaster.
