Spy Sweeper 5.5.7.122 Online Manual

Keeping quarantined items

You can keep items in the Quarantine, where they are rendered inoperable and cannot harm your computer. This is the safest action to take. It allows you to test your computer to make sure that all legitimate programs still function properly without a piece of spyware. If necessary, you can restore an item from the Quarantine.

If the Quarantine reaches certain size limits or when your computer’s hard drive is low on space, Spy Sweeper displays an alert in a pop-up from the system tray (lower-right corner of your screen), in the Alerts panel, or as a Spy Sweeper message window. If you see the Spy Sweeper message window, the alert is critical and space on your hard drive is very low. You should take action to make more space available. The alert message gives you three options:

•

Delete Old Items. Click to delete all items in the Quarantine that are more than seven days old. If deleting these items does not make enough space available, Spy Sweeper displays another message recommending that you go to the Quarantine and delete more items (see Deleting quarantined items permanently).

•	Manage Quarantine. Click to open Spy Sweeper with the Quarantine panel displayed, where you can selectively delete items from the Quarantine (see Deleting quarantined items permanently).

•	Remind Me Later. Click to have Spy Sweeper remind you tomorrow. If you take this action, you may want to delete other files to make more hard drive space available.
