Spy Sweeper

Spy Sweeper offers three different scans, including a quick scan that can promptly quarantine and access levels of risk in less than a minute. It can also run selective scans if you want to exclude specific file types. This program is so simple to use that computer novices can configure their settings, yet it offers the kind of protection that computer pros demand.

Now you can explore the Internet, download files and share files without worries. Spy Sweeper can protect your computer no matter what you do online. Additionally, all updates are free and technical support is free.

Spy Sweeper works with Windows Vista with an upgrade from Webroot's website.


Ease of Setup/Use:

Spy Sweeper is extremely easy to use and has a well–organized interface with tabs for all major functions. This program takes the guesswork out of configuring your security with easy to understand recommended settings and alerts notifying you when you need to update.

Detection Effectiveness:

Spy Sweeper is continually evolving and the newest version 5.5 is better than ever. It runs without bogging down your system and can run quick, custom or full sweeps in record time.This program has fifteen shields, which include shields that protect from tracking cookies, explorer hijacks, keyloggers, ad sites and much more. If you don’t know what kind of protection you want, the program will run 12 recommended shields. After a scan, Spy Sweeper provides easy to understand reports. When items are detected, the report assigns a level of risk and description for each item. You can then quarantine, delete or restore the discovered items. Spy Sweeper will also keep you informed of immediate threats by warning you if an application is trying to install on your computer.

Removal Effectiveness:

Spy Sweeper is extremely easy to use and has a well–organized interface with tabs for all major functions. This program takes the guesswork out of configuring your security with easy to understand recommended settings and alerts notifying you when you need to update.

System Performance:

With such a powerful and versatile anti -spyware application, we expected to take a performance hit after installation. We experienced a slight decrease in overall system performance after installing Spy Sweeper on our slower computers (less than 1GB of RAM, less than 1Ghz processor speed), so users should beware that they'll need more memory and processing power than Webroot recommends. Still, Spy Sweeper is our top performer when it comes to detecting, preventing, and removing malicious programs.

Scan Performance:

Again, this is where a more powerful computer helps. On our slower systems, full scans took around 30-40 minutes. There are products that scanned faster, but you can always schedule full scans to run when you won't need to use your PC.

Support/Documentation:

Webroot supports Spy Sweeper through embedded help, online FAQs and email support. Unlike many software providers, Webroot provides toll–free phone support. They answered our phone calls and emails promptly.

Summary:

Spy Sweeper is a tough defender and can protect your computer from new threats to your privacy. Add Window Washer for free, and rest easy with 100% privacy and a fast, smooth-running computer.
