Spy Sweeper is a reliable program for Windows that provides a powerful scanner for detecting the infected files on the hard drive. Similar to SpywareBlaster, the software solution comes with a real time monitor for blocking incoming threats.

Setup and interface

The installation takes a considerable amount of time, especially if you choose to automatically update the files during the procedure. It is also necessary to note that the wizard prompts you to install third-party applications that can change the setting of your default Internet browser.

After launching the utility, you are greeted with a well-organized graphical user interface. It encloses a pane that displays details and information, and a navigation panel from which you are able to select the desired area. If you want to learn more about various functions, you may view comprehensive Help file contents.

Configure and run scans

The program offers you a detailed settings menu to give you the ability to schedule a scan and decide which type it will be, a full, a quick or a full sweep. You can also set up password-protection to allow only authorized people to modify your configuration. It is worth mentioning that the scanning process takes a while. The tool checks the memory, registry, cookies and all the contents of your hard drive to make sure that everything is clean.
