I have a problem. I cant seem to enable my spysweeper shields for my hosts file. It comes up with an error saying hosts file is too big. Edit: Moved topic to the more appropriate forum. ~ Animal |

Damn, I really dont know what to do. If I disable spysweeper, could i use any other programs to replace for it?
For eg , lik spybot or spyware blaster or comodo BOclean or Ad aware etc ?? And plus, I think spysweeper is slowing down my pc quite a bit |

Glad to hear the issue has been resolved.
Spysweeper has been known to be resource heavy. If your still looking for an alternative, see BC's list of Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"
