Spy Sweeper always running!

Postby janlafata » Sat Jul 18, 2009 12:13 am

I checked in my Task Manager and System, Processes and noticed that Webroot Spy Sweeper is always running, even when the program is not open. It's using 12460 K of memory. I tried disabling it in the start up program, Autoruns but it would not budge. Any suggestions?

Hello.

You have tried it ?
click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools and then double-click Services.
Find and double-click Webroot Spy Sweeper Engine listed under the Name column.
Click the Stop button to stop the Webroot service.
Click OK to close the Webroot Spy Sweeper Engine properties.
