Setting Up Spyware to Always Remove

If you find that some spyware keeps showing up in your sweeps, you can tell Spy Sweeper to always remove that spyware automatically. Spy Sweeper will still detect the spyware and include it in its count of found spyware and traces, but it will not list it in the list of spyware to remove. Spy Sweeper will remove it automatically.

Step Introduction icon To set up spyware to always remove:

  1. Start Spy Sweeper, if it is not already running, and display the main window.
  2. In the icon panel, click Options.
  3. Click the Always Remove tab.
    • The Always Remove tab displays with a list of all spyware Spy Sweeper has found on your computer.
  4. Select each spyware item in the list that you want Spy Sweeper to automatically remove.
    • A check mark next to the spyware shows that it is selected and will be removed. It will not display in the list of spyware to remove when you run a sweep.
  5. To learn more about any spyware listed, select it and click More Details.
  6. Note icon Note: You must be connected to the Internet to see the additional information.
