General Software Discuss, Possible issue - Webroot Spysweeper and Vista Home Premium SP1 at Software forum; I was using Webroot Spysweeper, with my Vista Home Premium (pre SP1), with no issues. After updating to SP1, Spysweeper would not work at all. Contacted Webroot, and they pointed me to a new version to update.. Spysweeper works now, but I have a new problem.

I was using Webroot Spysweeper, with my Vista Home Premium (pre SP1), with no issues. After updating to SP1, Spysweeper would not work at all. Contacted Webroot, and they pointed me to a new version to update.. Spysweeper works now, but I have a new problem. System completely locks up at times. CTRL/ALT/DELETE not recognized. Must do a power off/on to get system back. If I try to run Crysis (haven't tried other games), it locks up right away.. I shutdown Spysweeper, and then everything works fine. I have had Spysweeper disable for 2 days, and not a single lockup, where I was getting lockups at least 2 times a day..

Anybody else having this same issue? (Again, I no longer have the problem, as I'm keeping Spysweeper shutdown, and waiting to email Webroot and see if they have heard anything)..
