A system restore point is for the system, but does not cover installed third party software. Josh's information about a system restore is accurate, but not very detailed. At that point, yes it will still block threats that it knew about contained in the patterns it has, but it will not be able to block anything newer. It will eventually go to final stage end of support life at which point it will no longer receive pattern updates either.

In the event that anybody has a technical issue with it, they will be assisted with removing any remnants of it and installing SecureAnywhere. SpySweeper is on end of life stage one with regards to support. We have lost a few thousand customers and gained a few hundred thousand for every hundred we lost. That doesn't mean that we expect to make everybody happy all of the time. If it were a democracy, you're outvoted by several million folks who prefer the new system. There are legal rights, of course, however changing the customer-facing endpoint of the security subscription does not violate those. Please be cautious when speaking about "Consumer rights", since the rights a consumer gets are those given in the contract, whether it be a bill of sale or a service contract. I sincerely hope SpySweeper continues to provide me with some measure of protection through June 2013, when my subscription expires.
#WEBROOT SPYWEEPER UPGRADE#
Josh's admonition, however, that "Even performing a system restore or reverting to a previous image may not restore complete functionality to SpySweeper" pretty much makes the decision to try the upgrade experiment a no-brainer. I am quite willing to take your new methodology out for a spin. This is all the more pertinent, I believe, in the case of a subscription, wherein the subscriber ought to be able to retrograde, if necessary, to enjoy the benefits of a paid term of service in the manner he/she prefers. Should I elect to try your newer product, I should be able to revert to an earlier, pre-trial state in the event I am unsatisfied. Still, I expect some aspects of my purchase to support basic consumer rights.

Kit, your point regarding security as subscription is well taken, and I fully understand that the "purchase" of an application such as SpySweeper/SecurityAnywhere involves a paradigm apart from conventional software.
#WEBROOT SPYWEEPER UPDATE#
While I hate to put it this way, I guess in the long run it comes down to whether or not you trust us to do the right thing for you and protect your computer, even if this update is a major change in the methodology. But it also watches for other malware and threats while stillstaying out of the way, takes up fewer computer resources, and works much more efficiently for you. It still watches for Spyware and keeps out of the way of other Antivirus products. SpySweeper specifically counts as "We will watch for Spyware and keep out of the way of other Antivirus products." SecureAnywhere just changes the delivery of this service in a manner that works better for you, takes less of your time and gets in your way less. In general, by purchasing a subscription to SpySweeper, you are buying Webroot's service to protect your computer against threats. Keeping in mind that we wanted our existing subscribers to have the option to continue with service, SecureAnywhere was designed to provide superior protection and still fit into the same space as our Antivirus products and also our SpySweeper product. In the case of SecureAnywhere, we at Webroot made the decision to change the manner by which we are providing the security service. Without the services, updates, and support provided by the security company (ANY security company), the program itself is useless.
#WEBROOT SPYWEEPER SOFTWARE#
That is also why security is a subscription, rather than a software purchase. If you take into account that even without "upgrading to SecureAnywhere", your SpySweeper installation undergoes nearly daily updates and upgrades, you can see where this comes into play. Customer of the things to remember in this day and age is that computer security is rarely a static produc", like a program that you download, but rather a service.Webroot® Legacy Products (2011 and Prior) 33.
