Setting Up Items to Always Remove

If you find that some spyware, adware, or unwanted programs keep showing up in your sweeps, you can tell Spy Sweeper to always remove that item automatically. Spy Sweeper will still detect the item and include it in its count of found items and traces, but it will not include it in the list of items to remove. Spy Sweeper will remove it automatically.

To set up items to always remove:

Start Spy Sweeper, if it is not already open, and display the main window.
For more information, see Starting Spy Sweeper.
In the icon panel, click Options.
For information about the Spy Sweeper window, see Understanding the Spy Sweeper Window.
The Options panel displays.
Click the Always Remove tab.
The Always Remove tab displays with a list of all items Spy Sweeper has found on your computer.
Select each item in the list that you want Spy Sweeper to automatically remove.
A check mark next to the item shows that it is selected and will be removed. It will not display in the list of items to remove when you run a sweep.
To learn more about any item listed, select it and click View more details online.
You must be connected to the Internet to see the additional information.
Spy Sweeper opens your Internet browser, goes to the Webroot Web site, and displays information about the selected item. This information can help you decide if you want to remove the item.
To clear the list of everything that is not selected, click Remove Unchecked Items. This shortens the list to let you see only those items you want to always remove.
