Spy Sweeper protects you from intrusive software known as spyware, which collects information about your internet habits and sends it to software writers or marketing companies for analysis. Spyware infects your computer when you download and install malicious software.

In our tests Spy Sweeper found all traces of spyware on our computer and offered more information than many of the popular free alternative anti-spyware packages.

As with other spyware detectors, Spy Sweeper continually monitors your computer for spyware and has frequent definitions updates available, to protect against the latest spyware.

Spy Sweeper claims to protect against all types of spyware, including system monitors, Trojan horses, and other threats like CoolWebSearch and Look2Me.

Note that the latest Spy Sweeper 5.3 available to download from vnunet.com includes AntiVirus support and will work with Windows Vista. The download here is for the free 30-day trial version, whereas most Spy Sweeper trial downloads across the Internet are for the basic scan-only 14-day version.

This exclusive Spy Sweeper 5.3 30-day trial enables to choose between a standard anti-spyware install or the edition with AntiVirus support. You make this choice within the installer. Spy Sweeper will also download the latest definitions, before it fully installs on your computer.
