Updating Spy Sweeper
Webroot updates the Spy Sweeper program to keep up with changes in spyware. You should update the program at least once a month to ensure that you are using the latest version.
Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version of Spy Sweeper, do not uninstall the old version first. Installing the new version over the old one retains the quarantine information from previous sweeps and lets you automatically retain your Spy Sweeper settings.
Spy Sweeper can notify you whenever a new version is available. You can also check for updates anytime. While your subscription is valid, you can download and install the updated version.
You can see what version you have by clicking About at the top of Spy Sweeper window.
Note: You must connect to the Internet to update Spy Sweeper.
