Spyware Sweeper
Author: Lisa Carey
Spyware is just like weeds in your garden or flower bed. They
just appear when you least expect it. You didn't plant them
there and you definitely don't want them to stay. Sometimes the
weeds take over and are difficult to remove. Sometimes they do
damage to the trees, and plants they are near. Spyware is just
like that, it sneaks in, it causes damage to your computer, your
software, your personal information and even in some cases your
financial information. It can be hard to find, and you may not
even know about it until it's too late. So what can you do? Just
like you do for your lawn, flower bed or gardens. . . try to
stop the weeds before they occur. One of the highest rated "weed
killers" in the spyware world is Webroot Spyware Sweeper.
Webroot Spyware Sweeper has been chosen seven times by PC
Magazine as an editor's choice Best Buy and by PC World as a
Best Buy for spyware protection.
What is so special about the Webroot Spyware Sweeper software?
First it detects and eliminates spyware programs from your
computer in the first try. Even some of the harder to detect and
remove programs can be removed without several tries, stops,
starts and restarts of your computer. In addition to the ease of
the detection and removal of spyware, it stops spyware from
accessing your computer. It detects the spyware program in real
time so that you are protected as you use the internet, download
music or media or send and receive email, not after the fact.
Webroot Spyware Sweeper uses 16 "smart shields" to detect early
threats like Trojan, SpySheriff and Downloader-Low Zones.
Webroot Spyware Sweeper uses the rootkit technology in most
spyware programs against them. It detects the rootkit program in
spyware software in whatever form it appears and quarantines the
software before it can affect your computer.
Another feature of this software is the use of a "risk
assessment" program for early detection of potential danger in
your emails, webpage visits, and media downloads. It then
provides the computer user with a message identifying the risk
prior to compete access and infection on your computer.
One of the most commented on features of the 5.5 version of
Webroot Spyware Sweeper is the ease of use in setting up,
scheduling updates and scheduling scans as well as using the
quarantine and repair tools. You may determine what type of scan
you wish to occur, such as quick, full or custom sweeps, based
on your schedule and needs.
Customer service and technical support is free and available
online as well as telephone. The online customer support center
online also provides a FAQ page, access to renew or register
your software, obtain the software key code and access their
account information. Media information and "glitches" are posted
to the customer service message board.
Earlier versions of Webroot Spyware Sweeper were incompatible
with Windows Vista; but version 5.5 claims to be Windows Vista
ready. Operating problems between the two have been reported,
however Windows and Webroot technicians have developed a
temporary patch for use t this time.
You may try Webroot Spyware Sweeper software free for thirty

programs. A full purchase is required to remove harmful spyware
from your computer. The cost of this software is $29.95 for one
computer/one year of service, $39.95 for two years/one computer
or up to three computers for $49.95, all versions are regardless
