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.
