Spyware Scanner

Click on the 'Spyware Scanner' icon in the left menu to access the PestPatrol® Anti-Spyware Spyware Scanner.   
 


 


Periodically, Spyware Scanner can be checked for updates by pressing the 'Update' button in the bottom right portion of the interface.  The files will be automatically downloaded and installed. (see below).
 


 


Click on the 'Scan' button to check for all types of spyware.  Different areas of the system can be scanned, including Memory, Registry, Cookies, or Common locations such as the 'My Documents' and 'My Favorites' folders, etc.  Also, specific portions of the system can be scanned by checking the 'Selected Paths' box and clicking on the 'Select Folders' box.  Once the scan is complete, Spyware Scanner will display all potential spyware ('pests') found (see below).
 


 


Unless a particular pest is known to be safe, it is recommended that all pests are deleted by selecting the checkboxes within the results window and clicking the 'Delete checked' button.  This will move all pests to the Quarantine section where they remain safely disabled from the system.  Pests can be recovered if needed by pressing on the 'Restore' button, or if it has been determined that these pests are in fact spyware, click on the 'Delete' button to permanently remove them from your system.  Details of the quarantined items can be viewed by double-clicking on the item or selecting the 'Log Element' button (see below).
