SPY SWEEPER REVIEW BY 2SPYWARE RESEARCH CENTER

After testing Spy Sweeper scanner on several of our computers, we found that this program thoroughly checks the Windows registry, running processes, web browser cookies and the entire file system. It implements unique techniques in order to get ability to detect unknown threats. Surprisingly enough, we found that Spy Sweeper scan checks inside compressed files, System Restore folder and certain system components that rival products never check. The program uses an extensive, regularly updated spyware definitions database that currently contains over 145,000 malware signatures. The application performs deep system scan by default. This scan mode is the most thorough, so it involves scanning for rootkits and searching for malware inside compressed files requires more than one hour to complete. Despite all the time it takes, this mode does not need a lot of system resources.. It usually takes 10-15 minutes to complete. If the user does not want to run a full scan, he or she can set the program to check only those folders where threats are known to reside. Such mode usually saves up to 5-6 minutes and can help you fix PC with Spy Sweeper faster.

We have also been capable of testing additional options of this program, such as “Identity Shield” that is supposed to protect people's personal information, identification of unsafe links, etc. Everything works as promised, so you can be sure that these options will help you to prevent the loss of your personal information and make your browsing safer. However, sometimes this program may cause system slow downs.
