Anti-Spyware Software


Anti-Spyware Software removes Spyware on an infected PC and prevents re-infection. To be truly effective against Spyware, Anti-Spyware Software must also take action against both known threats and potential threats.

  • Spyware Detection: Spyware must be detected proactively, before it gains access to the user's computer.

  • Spyware Blocking: Spyware must be prevented from accessing the user's data files.

  • Spyware Quarantine: Spyware must be safely quarantined until the user decides whether or not to remove it.

  • Spyware Removal: Anti-Spyware Software must be able to remove all files that comprise malicious programs.

  • Kills the latest threats: Anti-Spyware Software must be updated frequently with the latest definitions needed to target (kill) even the latest permutations of Spyware.

  • Highly automated, intelligent research component: Optimally, researchers find new Spyware and develop the definitions to kill it before it infects users.
