Safe Online Shopping with Spy Sweeper
There are two elements to shopping safely, verifying the online business that you're dealing with and protecting your PC from hidden nasties like spyware and viruses.
I've addressed the first issue many times, beginning with this post back in October 2006: Safe and Secure Online Shopping. However, verifying the identity of an online store is only half the story.
You can't protect yourself against something you can't see so you need some good software to do that for you. Webroot Spy Sweeper detects, removes and blocks 97% of all spies - that's 40%* more than any other antispyware solution (* VeriTest 2006)
What's at risk if you're without Spy Sweeper?
- Holiday Shopping Safety

According to a 2006 industry report, spyware programs designed to track behavior and gather personal information are growing at a rate of 254%! This presents a bigger threat than viruses, which are actually declining at a rate of 32%. - Your PC
