Spyware has eclipsed viruses as the fastest growing online threat, infecting nearly 90% of Internet-connected PCs. Awarded Editors' Choice in PC Magazine, Spy Sweeper detects and removes more traces of spyware than any other program including; Trojans, adware, keyloggers and system monitors.
Spy Sweepers dedicated spy research lab continuously and seamlessly delivers updates for the latest protection from new and emerging threats. For online protection, Spy Sweeper protects users from emerging browser spyware threats with a set of new Internet Explorer and browsing shields. And because spyware can still attack when a user is not online, Spy Sweeper is complete with several operating system shields to reinforce its ability to catch even the trickiest spyware when it attempts to download, install or run on a users PC.

Users may pick and choose what programs and files and folders to scan, and prearrange the software for automatic sweeps during selected times or simply choose the Sweep Now button for complete and immediate sweeping. Once spyware is detected, the quarantine feature allows users to safely manage spyware by removing or keeping it, without harming other programs on the computer. Traditional anti-virus programs and firewalls don't offer protection from invasive and harmful spyware programs.
The consequences of unidentified spyware can include identity theft, computer corruption, and bombardment from pop-up ads. Spyware infections can occur when you visit a spy-spreading web site, open a spy-carrying email attachment, or download a spy as part of another (often "free") software program. Your privacy, and even your identity, is at high risk if you surf the Internet more than one hour a week, share your computer, or use file-sharing (peer-to-peer) programs.
