The application performs deep system scan by default. This scan mode is the most thorough. It usually takes 10-15 minutes to complete. If the user does not want to run a full scan, he or she can set the program to check only those system areas where threats are known to reside. Such mode requires only a few minutes.

In several cases the user might want to enable additional scan options. These options make system scans even deeper, but do not increase scan time. The most thorough custom scan mode involving scanning for rootkits usually requires only 10-15 minutes to complete, just like the default deep scan.

Spy Sweeper implements effective real-time protection monitors, which terminate harmful processes, detect keyloggers, prevent unsolicited software and parasites from being installed or loaded automatically on system startup, block access to malicious web sites and protect essential web browser and system settings.
