Protect your PC with the leading anti-spyware software.
November 17, 2005 (Press Release) --
Dedicated to combating spyware since its inception, Webroot Software understands the complexity of spyware and has designed Spy Sweeper 4.5 with the most advanced blocking, detection and removal capabilities on the market.
Advanced Blocking and Detection
Using new FlexDef technology, Spy Sweeper can identify and eliminate never-before-seen spyware on the fly - without the need for a specific definition. This break-through advance is just another of the many layers of protection you get with Spy Sweeper.
New Smart Shields
Four new Smart Shields (16 different shields in total) provide greater protection from new spyware installations.
ActiveX Shield - prevents spyware from using ActiveX controls to install on your PC
Spy Communication Shield - blocks incoming and outgoing communication to malicious Web sites known to host potential spyware threats
BHO Shield - stops the installation of unwanted toolbars that track Web site activities or install other add-ons without your consent
IE Trusted Sites Shield - prevents spyware from adding unwanted Internet Explorer Web site entries
Comprehensive Removal Technology (CRT)
Using new patent-pending removal technology, Spy Sweeper effectively disables the most sophisticated spyware programs - ones that are specifically designed to avoid detection and removal. This advanced technology saves you time and effort by removing these vicious threats in one sweep - with no need for multiple reboots.
Aggressive Removal of Sophisticated Spies
Spy Sweeper definitely defeats spyware programs that employ the most malicious technology today - "rootkits" - which bury and hide spyware files deep with your PC, and are invisible to most anti-spyware programs.
Improved User Interface
The Spy Sweeper dashboard lets you quickly view all crucial information about recent sweep results, as well as spy defense updates, subscription status, and more. Plus, you now get a graphical display of the risk level for each threat Spy Sweeper finds making it easier to understand the danger spyware poses to your security.
Faster Automated Definition Downloads
Spy Sweeper now downloads only the new or modified definitions to ensure you have the most up-to-date protection available - instantaneously.
