Spy Sweeper 5.5.7.122 Online Manual

Using multiple accounts

If your computer is configured for multiple user accounts (each person logs in with a unique name and password), the Spy Sweeper program is available to all those accounts. Users with administrative privileges have full access to all areas of Spy Sweeper, while other users have limited access.

The following table describes Spy Sweeper functions not available to limited users (those without administrative privileges).

 

Function	Description
Shields	Limited users cannot change shield settings, with the exception of the IE Hijack Shield options: • User—Limited users can use this drop-down list to change these settings. Only the current user account is affected. These settings effectively override the system settings below. • System—Only the computer administrator can use this drop-down list to change these settings. Changes here affect all user accounts, unless a limited user has customized the setting. See Editing the IE Hijack Shield settings.
Program Options	Limited users cannot change settings for these options: • Add “Sweep” option to Windows Explorer context menu • Load Spy Sweeper at Windows startup See Setting Spy Sweeper program options.
Quarantine panel	Limited users can view the Quarantine panel, but cannot restore or delete items that have been quarantined. See Managing the Quarantine.
Scheduled Sweeps	All users can run sweeps. However, for scheduled sweeps to run, you must be logged in to the account where you created the schedule. In addition, you can only see the scheduled sweeps configured from your own account. See Running sweeps on a schedule.
