Anyone who has had to deal with cleaning up infected machines has heard about SpySweeper. This tool is a gem. These people provide definition updates more frequently than enyone else...

One nice feature in this version is the ability to lock down your host file ...

SpySweeper reports Backweb as possible spyware. They warn you that Backweb has a lot of legitimate uses (include F-Secure Antivirus). Just a note to be careful about removing Backweb when using SpySweeper.

Yes, you are right. You can configure a white list of sorts.
I have used it for about a year now. I noticed that it finds stuff that others do not. |

just be aware that this latest version has a lot of bugs in it,i decided to stay with a previous release(version 1.514414 with subscriptions)as the latest one gave me heaps of problems but as i said before if you configure it properly it will do the job just depends on which version you use
