We knew immediately we had to create an anti-spyware program to help stop this from spreading and infecting computers world wide.” ,stated Co-Owner and Co-Founder Martin Thorborg.
The way SPYWAREfighter works is by scanning all active programs for running pests. This detects any threats, making the system more secure against malicious threats. SPYWAREfighter allows for automatic or manual scanning for spyware, malware, or other malicious software. An analysis tools program allows a user to scan manually for possible threats. When a threat is detected, it will be encrypted and stored in quarantine, making it harmless to the user’s computer.
SPYWAREfighter is also able to scan for DLL Trojans. These are Trojans which inject themselves into other secure processes. When a DLL Trojan is detected by SPYWAREfighter, it is then deleted from the computer.

When SPYWAREfighter scans files, it scans not only for known threats, but for malicious looking behavior. Therefore, the protection SPYWAREfighter offers is not only limited to that of what is known in the database, but is extended to include analysis of possible threats.
