Starting Spy Sweeper

You can start Spy Sweeper and display the main window a number of ways, depending on the options you selected when you installed it.

Start Spy Sweeper and display the main window using one of the following methods:

If Spy Sweeper is open in your system tray (you should see the Spy Sweeper icon in the lower-right corner of your screen), do one of the following to display the Spy Sweeper main window:
Double-click the Spy Sweeper icon.
Right-click the Spy Sweeper icon and select Home from the pop-up menu.
The Spy Sweeper main window displays. This is where you can change your Spy Sweeper settings and run sweeps. For more information, see Understanding the Spy Sweeper Window, Running Sweeps, and Setting Up Program Options and Continuous Monitoring.
Click Close to close the Spy Sweeper window, but keep Spy Sweeper open in your system tray and protecting your computer. A message displays letting you know that Spy Sweeper will continue to protect your computer. Click OK.
If you did not select the Load Spy Sweeper at Windows Startup option during installation or you shut down Spy Sweeper completely, double-click the Spy Sweeper icon on your computer desktop or click Start, point to Programs, point to Webroot, point to Spy Sweeper, and click Spy Sweeper.
This starts Spy Sweeper and displays the main window.

Note: If you want Spy Sweeper to start automatically when you start Windows and stays open in your system tray, click Options in the icon panel, click the Program tab, and select the Load Spy Sweeper at Windows Startup option. We recommend using this option.
