System Requirements:

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 5.3.1 available to download from vnunet.com includes AntiVirus support and will work with Windows Vista. The download here is merely a stub and will then download latest definitions, before it fully installs on your computer. The install procedure may take some time.
