Spy Sweeper no longer suport 64 bits!

I got a notice of an update to version 5, free with my subscription
license. I downloaded it, and when it runs it immediately says "Spy
Sweeper is not compatible with 64 bit operating systems."

I wrote to them asking for a refund on my support license since they
renewed it with a working product.

Boy this stinks - first iTunes then this. You would think we would see
more support for 64 bit not less. I will never go back to Spy Sweeper...

 

There are better tools and no cost.

 

such as.......?

 

I bought it,too, a few months ago and regretted it for the following
reasons:

1. Does not work with XP64

2. When it finds a so called "spyware" under XP32 - and you delete it
because you don't really know what is legit and what is not - you may be
deleting a legitimate file. To make a long story short, Spyware is very
"stupid" and can't really differentiate between real spyware and necessary
legit files, at least that was my impression so I quit using it, too. $30
bucks down the drain...

Windows Defender has a x64 version, and costs nothing to Genuine Advantage
customers.

 

Yep - that's what we moved to! Spy Sweeper is history around here.

You'll enjoy the nice reply I got from their support team, which was the
last straw to move EVERYTHING off their product (even all x32 XP systems) --

Hello-

I'm a confused. It seems we have never supported 64 bit systems. That is
a possibility in the future, but is not something we have supported in
the past nor do we support it now.

Our money back guarantee is for 30-days past the day of purchase. Seeing
as you purchased your subscription last year I would be unable to refund
your subscription.
