Advantages: Real time protection, automatic updating, easy installation, impressive scanning system
Disadvantages: Can use a little too much system power when all shields are enabled

...In my honest opinion, Webroot Spy Sweeper is one of the best anti-spyware products on the market, offering unprecedented real time protection and automatic updating to ensure you're always safe and secure. The product allows you to carry out a variety of different scans such as a full intense system scan, to a light scan or even scan just a folder or a file you've downloaded. There are a number of 'Shields' which protect you from various types of threats and it's good practice to keep these enabled as they do a lot of good. Scanning is fairly fast so you won't have to wait around all day long to get a list of results. If Spy Sweeper does find anything it's very easy to remove the offender or to quarantine it so it doesn't bother you no more. The product updates automatically, although you can tell it to update at any time you... Read review

...My son is obsessed with road sweepers, but you don't often see road sweeper toys. I saw this and had to get it- he loves it. The brush goes round at the front and the suction piece at the side can be put in several positions. It even comes with a Lego man who can hold the brush in his hands. The Lego man fits in the cab, giving plenty of opportunities for role play. It is a great toy to get as an introduction to Lego as it is quite small and therefore doesn't take too long to build. My son used his other Lego to build a garage for the road sweeper- he really like to look after it. With the Lego man seeping up, my sons room has never been cleaner!... Read review

Advantages: Steps into a range of new ideas.
Disadvantages: A bit kiddy and is very hard at times.

...Time is the fourth dimension and Blinx has it at his command. Using a wide range of sweepers and your ability to control time your job is to clear levels of time monsters and collect the hidden cat medals. Blinx, with his sly grin and sweeper that can suck up anything lying around can pulverize anything that comes his way. Your ultimate goal is to clear every level of every monster and defeat an evil gang of pigs (literally pigs) and rescue the captured princess, who Blinx has a crush on (typical). Gameplay: - Absolutely stunning gameplay that constantly leaves you challenged to the tip of your game playing skills. Using Blinx’s unique abilities every part of the level tests how well you can use them to your advantage until you face the boss, yeah the big tough guy who thinks he’s all hard and then gets his ass kicked...

...it due to poor implementation. For those who have a particular liking and knack for platform games then by all means give this a try (its not as if the XBox is brimming with them at the moment) and even those who are slightly interested then consider renting it out. However as far as the first part of the Blinx saga goes, even with it being ‘The first 4D action game!’ it’s not a very good one.

..."The Chimney Sweeper's Boy" like other Barbara Vine novels, examines the effect of the past on the present. The past is full of guilt, deception, secrets that must be concealed. Some people will go to any lengths to make sure that the past stays hidden. Gerald Candless is a successful novelist, adored by his two daughters, regarded with a mixture of loathing and fascination by his wife. When he dies of a heart attack, his distraught elder daughter decides to write a memoir of his life. She soon discovers that he is not the man, the father, the teacher that she thought she knew. So who is he? Why has he hidden who he was and where he came from? The answer throws light on the prevailing attitudes of late fifties and early sixties England, on hypocrisy, concealment and cruelty. Truth and falsehood are entirely mixed and it is only...

Advantages: Removes Spyware & Adware.
Disadvantages: ?

...Several months ago, I had a severe problem with viruses on my computer. severely hampering Internet use. Upon looking into it I discovered these things called adware and spyware. Norton seemed unable to deal with or remove these viruses. After browsing the web as best I could there seemed to be no cheap or available product within this country that was able to help. Desperate measures were called for and a trip to PC World seemed the only choice, not my first choice, but the closest. At first, I found it difficult to find anything, but then, in a corner - on the bottom shelf was the virus section. After scanning through, the 20,000 available Norton products, there was a product called Spy Sweeper. This seemed to be the only software that dealt with my problems and pinpointed Spyware and Adware. It was also the cheapest... Read review

Advantages: Nice to know whos spying on you!
Disadvantages: As of yet, I haven't found one

...SpySweeper that cleared my computer of all these traces, as well as a few other cookies I didn't realise were on my PC. Spysweeper can be bought boxed from a shop, or as in my case, downloaded from the webroot web site. There is a facility on the web site for you to run a free scan of your computer to detect any adware you may have, although to clean your computer properly, you need to buy the software. I have to date, found 5, 323 ad and spyware cookies on my computer from most of the sites I visit. Not only does spysweeper tell you the names of the adware it finds, you also have the facility of checking the adware on the webroot site and finding more information on it! This I think is a great touch as it helps you uderstand more the dangerous world of adware and spyware. I strongly urge people to look into ad and spyware software... Read review

...Ruth Rendell, writing as Barbara Vine, once again uses her razor-sharp scalpel to dissect a dysfunctional family in "The Chimney Sweeper's Boy." She has done this many times before. Rendell shows how our "loved ones" have the power to destroy us and how families are the battlefield of humanity. This book is about Gerald Candless, a successful and famous novelist who has a wife, Ursula, and two daughters, Hope and Sarah. He treats his daughters like goddesses and he is indifferent and, at times, vicious to his wife. Sarah begins to do research for a biography about her father's life, and she finds that Gerald had hidden a secret identity from the rest of the world. Rendell makes the gradual revelation of the truth about Gerald's past extremely suspenseful. She brilliantly interweaves bits of Gerald's writing into the book to show how... Read review
