Do you have an experience or opinion about Webroot Window Washer?
She doesn't have Vista; she has XP.I checked on wikipedia and said they got good review.
If you own Vista then you will have windows defender to remove all spyware and adware, plus spyware isn't big issue on vista if you use daily, no charge on that.

It's not for me. A friend of mine (even less computer literate than me) got an email offer for the software, and she wants to know if she should get it. She's concerned about security, viruses, etc. She wants to keep her computer "clean" and speedy.Are you trying to cover track from downloading Illegal copies of movie or music? LOL.

LOL kidding,
Avoid Norton softwares of any kinds! They do bogs down system performance. Personally, I favor Zonealarm w/ Antivirus and Spyware remover. It also have Cache cleaner built into it if option is checked. In that way, it'll keep system "clean" and speedy.
Also it's have to do with amount of "running" icons next to clock. If she have 1 or 2 GB of ram memory in her system. She can only run 6 or 7 "running" icons and still get around pretty fast and smooth. Do not download or install "Google taskbar, Google deskbar" ect (same goes for Yahoo, ect) for browser or desktop (they're unneccessary). They're performance hogs. Usually comes from update like Java, Flashplayer installation. keep eye on installation asking permission if it can install Google or Yahoo bars along with it's installation. Just uncheck it that you don't want to install it and proceed installation.
I've fixed some of friend's PC that had IE Browser full of these that made browser's window really small (they installed Google bar, Yahoo bar, Websearch bar, such such bars overlapping. Ouch!!). Had to uninstall bunch of these to make IE browser run faster, bigger, and clean..
I usually avoid those kind of memory hogs to keep my lappy sweet and happy. In that way it'll loads program and browser faster. BUT I ADMITTED installing Yahoo Widgets (I got sinned but it's useful LOL).
