Commanding Spyware Detection and Removal

Spyware programs are known to mutate quickly. Spy Sweeper uses adaptive definition technology for detecting spyware mutations that haven't yet received a defense definition. This is yet another benefit of having the world's best spyware research team on your side.

More Powerful Blocking Defenses

Enhanced Smart Shields prevent highly developed spyware programs from ever installing on your PC. You'll receive valuable action alerts to any changes in your computer's core functions, including startup, memory and Internet security settings.

Enhanced Rootkit Discovery Methods

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