Spy Sweeper

Scan For Spyware at Windows Startup

SUMMARY: Check for spyware and adware every time your computer boots with Spy Sweeper.

To help prevent spyware infections or to help remove spyware that can infect your system, you can force Spy Sweeper to run automatically whenever Windows starts. Though this sweep can take several minutes or longer to perform, you may find this scheduled scan (sweep) convenient in that you may not need to manually run Spy Sweeper yourself.

1. Double-click the Spy Sweeper icon in your Windows taskbar. If it is not present, you can click "Spy Sweeper" in your "Programs" or "All Programs" menu.

2. Click the "Options" button on the left.

3. Click the "Schedule" button on top.

4. Check "Sweep at Windows Startup".
