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.

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.
If SpyHunter is not able to automatically remove a malware object, our customer support system, included with the Spyware HelpDesk, is here to assist subscribers to the paid version of SpyHunter.
