Spy Sweeper is award-winning software that effectively and safely detects and removes spyware from your PC to protect you from identity theft, browser hijackers, hackers, keyloggers and Trojans.
Features:
Powerful Detection, Quarantine, and Deletion:
Spy Sweeper protects you with a sophisticated and regularly updated database of spyware definitions, the power to disable spyware, and the knowledge you need to analyze risks to your privacy.
You can manage spyware without harming other programs on your computer using the quarantine feature. This unique disable-and-store capability places spyware in a safe place on your system until you decide whether or not to remove them permanently.
Simple and Easy-to-Use:
A single click kicks off an in-depth sweep for covert spyware on your system, providing powerful spyware protection to novice and power users alike.
Premier Customer Support:
Spyware is incredibly invasive and can easily disrupt essential system functionality. Spy Sweeper is backed by expert technicians who will support you through any spyware problems you encounter.
Spyware Management Tools:
Spy Sweeper eliminates the need to research a spy more than once. Any time a piece of spyware is found on your system, you can add it to the Always Keep or Always Remove list.
Spy Sweeper Knowledge Base:
Right-click on a specific spy in the Quarantined, Always Keep, or Always Remove screens for instant access to the Spy Sweeper knowledge base. This database provides information about what Spy Sweeper found on your computer and the knowledge to decide what you want to keep or delete.
The database defines:
- Category of spyware (adware, keylogger, Trojan, etc.)
- Program capabilities
- Methods of infection (freeware download, drive-by download, third-party installation, etc.)
- Risk analysis
- Recommended action
Active Shields:
Real-time protection notifies you when spies attempt to run in-memory, while adware cookie-blocking and homepage protection ensure that your online browsing sessions are protected from spyware.
Time-Saving Custom Configuration Options:
- Spy Sweeper can skip files larger than a user-defined size.
- User can opt out of performing a memory scan.
- User can opt out of performing a registry scan.
- Spy Sweeper can sweep all folders, or it can be directed to sweep known spy folders in a specific drive.
Scan Progress Bars: progress bars clearly illustrate where you are in the sweeping process and how much time remains before your sweep is complete.
Smart Sweepers and Smart Definitions: Smart Sweepers and Smart Definitions allow Spy Sweeper to adapt to rapidly morphing spies on the fly--offering you more timely anti-spyware protection.
Auto Removal from Run Registry Entries: Spy Sweeper automatically scans all the Run registry entries looking for a reference to a spy that was found.
Flexible Removal Timing: Spy Sweeper adapts to the sophistication of a spy and determines the best time to remove it--offering a powerful tool against tough spies that can only be removed at certain times, for example, from the hard drive during a system reboot.
Enterprise Support: Support for network and removable drives offer network administrators the ability to control spyware across the network.
