Spy Cleaner Gold

Spy Cleaner Gold is a lightweight Windows application able to scan, detect, and delete spyware found on the computer.

It boasts a clean and straightforward layout that gives users the possibility to select the drive they want to scan, and you can also make the program look for memory or Registry items, or cookies.

Compared to other similar tools that come packed with several scanning modes, Spy Cleaner Gold deals with a single one that looks for possible threats into the computer by performing a comprehensive scanning operation.

Depending on the size of the disk, the utility may need some to carry out the process. At the end of the task, you can view details about the items found on the computer, such as keyloggers, spyware, adware, spyware cookie, or other suspicious files.

What’s more, Spy Cleaner Gold lets you create backup files and archive them to ZIP file format, build exclusion lists, delete items permanently from the computer, and automatically remove backup files older than two months.

The application bundles several security tools designed to protect you against malicious ActiveX items, repair the LSP (Layered Service Provider), and enable the “Spy Watcher” option for setting the IE home page and activating the startup protection mode.

Other important features worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to repair some issues when running Internet Explorer (e.g. home page changes or the URL redirects to unknown websites) by activating the “IE Hijack Repair” option.

All things considered, Spy Cleaner Gold offers a straightforward approach and a handy set of cleaning parameters that are suitable for both beginners and professionals.
