the thing is that "Webroot Spy Sweeper", detected three Spywares (forgot the names

), but it does not put them in "Quarentine" or even delete them

.

for these actions, it asks to subscribe, which i dont want right now.

I scanned with ZoneAlarm Pro's Anti-Spyware-> but found nothing, then i downloaded & installed AVG AntiSpyware, which also found nothing.

so whats going on here, was that a False Alarm (or marketing strategy

) by SpySweeper??

Lavasoft Ad-aware Personal does a fine job.

in any case Free or Paid.. my vote to Spybot Search n Destroy...

It is better to use more than one antispyware because the detection rate of none is near perfect. I personally use Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spywareblaster and Windows Defender. (all free)
