Webroot Spy Sweeper is award-winning anti-spyware software that
effectively detects and safely removes spyware and adware from your PC.
Spy Sweeper protects you from spyware's negative consequences, which
include a slower Internet connection, pop-up advertisement problems,
reduced computer performance, or in the worst case, the loss of private
information and identity theft. Spy Sweeper lets you protect your
privacy and your computer from a variety of spyware programs, from
those that monitor all of your computer's 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 "sweeps" your computer
looking for evidence of these programs, reports its findings, and lets
you decide whether to quarantine and remove the program or keep it
running on your system. Quarantining and removing programs will disable
it until you decide to delete the program completely or restore it.
