bit-tech Shopping: Webroot Software Webroot Window Washer

Rating: 8

Time with product:

Strengths: Works as advertised; not a resource hog

Weaknesses: Pricey for what it does!

Summary: I have always used Norton SystemWorks in the past for cleaning up registry issues and other general windows cleanup. For some reason, they didn't come out with a 2007 version, so I decided to try something else.Webroot has an excellent reputation as a SpySweeper, so I thought I would give their product a shot. Overall, I have been quite satisfied. The GUI is nice and they provide product updates for a year (like Symantec does). Some of the cleanup is already built into windows xp, albeat a bit hidden. But the registry stuff is nice. I would call this product overpriced, but a great deal if you can get it as part of a bundle like I did.
