Webroot® Spy Sweeper®

Spy Sweeper effectively and safely detects and removes spyware from your PC to protect you from identity theft, browser hijackers, hackers, keyloggers and Trojans. Spyware is any application that tracks your online behavior without your knowledge or consent. Spyware infects 9 out of 10 PCs connected to the Internet and has eclipsed viruses as the #1 threat to online privacy. Spyware comes in many forms including adware, Trojans, system monitors, home page hijackers, keyloggers and more.

The consequences of unidentified spyware can include identity theft, computer corruption, slower Internet access and computer productivity, and an increased number of pop-up ads. Antivirus software and firewalls do not address the full barrage of spyware attacking PCs today. Spyware can easily bypass antivirus and firewall protection by piggybacking on legitimate downloads to stealthily install on your system without your knowledge. For most PC users, spyware programs are nearly impossible to remove manually because they intertwine with core system functions or programs you want to keep.
