With Webroot Spy Sweeper on your side, you can easily keep your PC spyware-free.

Enhanced Rootkit Discovery Methods

Malicious spyware uses rootkit technology to bury its files deep within your PC. Webroot Spy Sweeper finds and destroys these programs with robust rootkit discovery methods, a feature many other antispyware programs lack.

Webroot Spy Sweeper installs quickly and easily. The intuitive interface lets you quickly set the right level of protection in just a few simple steps. Your security constantly runs in the background so you are free to work or play online the way you want to.

Minimal Impact on Computer Performance

Your security is optimized for speed and efficiency, but not at the expense of protection. Scanning can be initiated in the background or after hours to minimize any impact to desktop performance.

Security that is not updated is one of the biggest vulnerabilities home PC users face. Webroot’s VersionGuard™ ensures your protection is always current by automatically installing free updates to Webroot Spy Sweeper as soon as they are released.

Choose A Quick, Full Or Custom Sweep

With Webroot Spy Sweeper, you can easily choose to perform a quick, full or customized sweep. If you're looking for an immediate diagnosis, choose a quick sweep. For a pinpointed search, customize your sweep to have the software skip files by folder or file extension. For a deep cleaning, opt for a full sweep.

Windows Vista™ Compatible

Webroot Spy Sweeper now supports Microsoft's 64-bit Windows Vista Service Pack 1 operating system. Why add Webroot Spy Sweeper to your Windows Vista machine? The default malware blocking application built into Windows Vista does not adequately protect you from ongoing and the latest sophisticated threats. Users need a proven IT security solution that provides real-time protection against all forms of spyware. For more information see webroot.co.uk/vista.

Accurate Risk Assessment

Webroot Spy Sweeper uses a risk assessment test when detecting spyware programs to let you know how dangerous different spyware programs are - some may pose an immediate danger to your personal information while others are simply annoying. Spy Sweeper gives you a quick overview of each threat, what it does, and its potential danger. It's just another way that we help you make educated decisions to keep or remove unwanted programs.
