Review:

There are many free and and paid spyware, virus and malware cleaners out there these days. Lots of people looking at different websites, pictures and files on their computer are prone to this spyware, so I guess you can make a fortune investing in deleting all our computers harmful problems.

Although this is only one of many programs, it is a good and effective one, which is simple and scans well, like many others. Of course, any paid spyware/virus protection has to have real-time protection (some free ones have it too, like spybot s&d) which protects and shields you at the time of the spyware infecting your computer.

Real-time protection costs CPU power, like I found out using Kesperky anti-virus instead of good old AVG free. So for this program, you might want 1.5Ghz+ just to be safe.

The Spy Sweeper offers a range of protection, add ons and options including:
)Full results of all scans
)Updates from the program
)Complete Internet Explorer protection
)Hi-jack shields
)Startup shields
)Browser object shields (BHO)
)Windows system shields
)Host shields

and many more...

The program also offers options such as when you would like to sweep your computer (a scheduler), an always keep list, an always remove list and upgrade offers.

The good thing about this particular spyware program is that it's very basic, effective and doesn't get in the way.

I really don't think that to protect your computer you have to pay for anything.

Although I think that the program is great, you can get the same thing for free at the list shown above.

I hope you enjoyed the review!

Conclusion:

Great program but you can get it elsewhere for free.
