Webroot 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 Webroot 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.
The download here is a scan-only trial that will check your system for
potential spyware and other malicious software.
