I also encounter endless problems upgrading to ver. 5.0 (build 1286 and 1607). My problem had nothing to do with the keylogger shield, it was the version itself. Other people on other forums suggested AdAware was conflicting with Spy Sweeper, so I tried eliminating AdAware and running a sweep. No change. Spy Sweeper 5.0 still crawled. I reinstalled AdAware and deleted SS 5.0. Then, I downloaded replacement version 4.5.1 (build 731) and installed that. NOW, my system in protected and runs fine. I don't know what additional antispyware software you have, Curious, but I use SUPERantispyware, Spybot S&D, Wehntrust, AdAware, Rootkit Reveler, HijackThis, Icesword, and a few others. I update this regularly to remove any bugs I do encounter. I can't claim to be pest free, but I can tell you what I use.

I am a paid subscriber for over a year, and today updated free to version 5.2.3(build 2125). The program is still buggy.
When I first bought the program a year ago (not sure what version), the program ran smoothly with no conflicts. But as I have updated versions, the program has become bogged down and overweighted somehow.
Especially with the 5.0 update.
This latest version still has the bug in the Keylogger Shield and can be clearly seen when running and watching Task Manager. Just turn the Shield on and watch how the processes react. Memory usage is all over the place, CilyPudi said crawling around like ants.
Then turn it off and watch everything slow back down to calm.
CilyPudi has grown with this program and I know it well. I could not recommend you get it except from the Usenet. It is basically an overbloated impotent Cookie monster. I only keep the defs updated and scan with it. In real-time its a RAM hog.
I wonder why build 2125 didn't correct the Keylogger bug as Webroot is clearly aware of it? Overall this program and its support underwhelms me.
