SystemSweeper is another fraudulent application attacking people online. It pretends to be anti-spyware and requires buying a license in order to fully protect a computer. System Sweeper doesn’t function as anti-spyware even in user pays for a full version. It is only capable of loading annoying pop-ups that interrupt all activities and sometimes prevent user from using other applications. SystemSweeper loads many falsified security alerts and system tray warnings.

Don’t take SystemSweeper as SpySweeper! The later is reputable anti-spyware while System Sweeper is just a scam.
