Webroot Spy Sweeper Software

Several months ago, my teenage daughter came to me and told me that her computer wasn't working. Not working, how?, I said. To which she replied that it would come up, but wouldn't do anything. I asked her if she'd visited any new sites or downloaded/installed any new programs, but she said she didn't. It was then that I had an icky feeling in the pit of my stomach because I know enough about computers and teenagers to know that this was going to take awhile...

It's one thing to work on your own computer - you know where you've been and what you've done, but it's a totally different thing to try to work on someone else's pc because you don't know what they were doing, where they'd been and they're sometimes reluctant for one reason or another to give you that info.

If you ever have to work on a teenager's computer, the first thing to do is install Spy Sweeper which is a spyware removal program. Kids don't realize how much spyware there is out there in file sharing programs and exchanging other files like music and photos promotes spyware infection. My daughter had a ton of spyware on her pc, so much that none of the programs would even start up. After installing, updating and running the Spy Sweeper program, her pc began to function normally. This program is a must if you spend any time online. It works continuously to detect, remove, and block spyware utilizing an extensive spyware database which is constantly updated and delivered to the user's pc through regular automatic updates.
