Webroot Spy Sweeper™ lets you protect your privacy and your computer from a variety of spyware and unwanted programs, from those that monitor all of your computer's activities (system monitors), to those that can steal or destroy data (Trojan horses). It also detects programs that pop up advertising on your computer (adware) and cookies that may contain personal information (tracking cookies).

Spy Sweeper "sweeps" your computer looking for evidence of threats, reports its findings, and lets you decide whether to quarantine and remove the item or keep it. The quarantine-and-remove function disables the item until you decide to delete it completely or restore it.
