Spy Sweeper lets you protect your privacy and your computer from a variety of spyware programs, from those that monitor all of your computers activities (system monitors) to those that can steal or destroy data (Trojan horses). It also detects programs that pop up ads on your computer when the program is running (adware) and cookies that may contain and may transmit personal information (tracking cookies).

Spy Sweeper thoroughly checks the Windows registry, running processes, web browser cookies and the entire file system. It implements unique techniques to detect unknown threats. Spy Sweeper automatically enables a good security feature that prevents viruses from changing your Internet Explorer home page. Unfortunately, Spy Sweeper doesn’t automatically enable its other security option to remove third-party cookies.

Spy Sweeper now also provides the ability to ferret out pesky rootkits. Though the paid version of this program offers an excellent level of protection, the free trial only lets you scan your system with no option to remove. Spy Sweeper keeps you protected against these threats with frequent and automated updates to its definition database. Spy Sweeper constantly monitor your computers and Internet connections, blocking and removing spyware, virus and malware threats before they attack. SpySweeper is safe and fast, easy to use and install.

Spy Sweeper helps protect from fraud and identify theft by finding and removing these malicious programs. Spy Sweeper quickly provides maximum protection with minimal interaction. The completely upgraded user interface makes it easier than ever for users of all abilities to stay protected. Spy Sweeper 5.5 nicely balances power and simplicity. The default, out-of-the-box configuration provides exceptional protection and may be exactly what the majority of users need.
