Getting Started
Webroot« Spy Sweeper™ helps you protect your privacy and your computer from the threat of spyware, adware and other potentially unwanted programs. Spy Sweeper searches for many types of potentially unwanted programs from those that monitor all of your computer's activities (system monitors), to those that can steal or destroy data (Trojan horses). It also detects programs that pop up advertising on your computer (adware) and cookies that may contain personal information (tracking cookies).
Spy Sweeper "sweeps" your computer looking for evidence of potentially unwanted programs, such as spyware, adware, and suspect programs, reports its findings, and lets you decide whether to quarantine the item or keep it. The quarantine function disables the item until you decide to delete it completely or restore it.
If you have Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus, it also looks for viruses during sweeps.
