What they will probably do is try and help you diagnose the
problem(s).

Have you tried Spyware Terminator?

For what it's worth

It's freeware, so I don't know if you will find any reviews of it -vs-
paidware.

Well, CounterSpy was tested in the link that you provided.

http://anti-spyware-review.toptenreviews.com/

IMHO, you should work with customer service via telephone and get Spy
Sweeper working.

BTW, I use Sunbelts free firewall. It says "pay", but that is for
features that you don't need after the 30 day trial is over...IMO.

Also, there is a trail version of Pest Patrol (which I get for free
with my ISP- Road Runner) but Spy Sweeper is much better (remember the
toolbar story I told)

I would never pay for it, but you can try it for free http://www.pestpatrol.com/
