What is SpyHunter & How Does it Work?

SpyHunter is a Windows application designed to scan for, identify, remove and block malware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) and other objects. SpyHunter is specially designed to adapt and update as malware continues to evolve and become more sophisticated to evade detection by anti-malware/anti-virus programs. SpyHunter has been developed and engineered with precision programming to provide sophisticated online protection and security, while still offering a user-friendly interface to bring added simplicity to your digital life.

Set Up Your Customized, Quick Scan

SpyHunter offers its users an array of advanced options to customize the way they scan their systems. A scan can be focused on specific object types (Rootkits, Privacy issues), system areas (Memory, Registry) or program vulnerabilities. In the presence of multiple fixed disk drives, the user may select which particular drive(s) should be included in the scan. A customized scan may take only a fraction of the time needed for a full system scan. Of course, many users prefer the speed, simplicity and ease of use of SpyHunter's powerful default "Quick Scan" mode.

Enhanced Multi-Layer Scanning Increases Detection Rates

SpyHunter's advanced scanning architecture features a robust multi-layer system scanner designed to detect new threats. SpyHunter offers a variety of options to customize scans. Our front-end detection engine incorporates cloud-based capabilities to offer high-level detection and protection. SpyHunter users can expect great performance, advanced heuristic detection methods, and system efficiency.

Users can opt to manually focus scans on specific folders or drives, you can also view logs of previous scans, manage quarantined objects, and select objects to exclude from future SpyHunter scans. Our multi-layered scanning process can separate and distinguish between vulnerabilities, privacy issues, unknown objects, potentially unwanted programs and malware, to allow users to take appropriate action, based on personal preferences.

Detect & Remediate Reported Vulnerabilities

SpyHunter's Vulnerability scan is an advanced technology that helps in the battle against malicious attacks. It is designed to scan the user's computer for software programs that contain reported vulnerabilities. If left unresolved, such vulnerabilities in outdated and unpatched programs may be exploited by hackers and malware authors to take complete control of a user's computer. If a vulnerable application is detected, SpyHunter allows users to open the website of the software manufacturer, directly from the scan results, in order to download critical patches and fixes that require manual installation.
