Closing Spy Sweeper

When you are viewing the Spy Sweeper window, as shown in Understanding the Spy Sweeper Window, you can click Min when you are finished setting up Spy Sweeper. Clicking Min closes the window, but keeps Spy Sweeper running.

If you have set up any scheduled sweeps or set Spy Sweeper shields (continuous monitoring), you should keep it running. You know it is running if you see the icon in the system tray in the lower-right corner of your screen.

If you want to completely stop Spy Sweeper from running, you can close it. You need to do this when you install a new version of Spy Sweeper.

Step Introduction icon To close Spy Sweeper completely:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Right-click the Spy Sweeper icon in your system tray and select Close from the pop-up menu. The system tray is in the lower-right corner of your screen.
    • If the Spy Sweeper window is open, click Close.
      • If you have any shields turned on or any sweeps scheduled, the Question window displays letting you know what functions you have set up that will not run after you close Spy Sweeper.
  2. Click No to close Spy Sweeper.
