Real-Time Threat Protection
Spy Sweeper Smart Shields block sophisticated spyware threats real-time, before they can infect your PC.

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.
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.
Multiple User Protection
