Setting Up Spyware to Always Keep

If you find spyware on your computer that you need to keep to make another program run properly, you can tell Spy Sweeper to always keep that spyware. 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.

Step Introduction icon To set up spyware to always keep:

  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 Keep tab.
    • The Always Keep 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 to keep.
    • A check mark next to the spyware shows that it is selected and will be kept. 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.

    • Spy Sweeper opens your Internet browser, goes to the Webroot web site, and displays information about the selected spyware. This information can help you decide if you want to keep the spyware.
    • To clear the list of everything that is not checked, click Remove Unchecked Items. This shortens the list to let you see only those items you want to always keep.
