Generally
after installing Spyware Detector, it
automatically opens the main application. If
you try to open it later, click Start
> Programs > SpywareDetector
> SpywareDetector.exe. The
main user interface of the application will
open. First of all it will open the Tips
for how to use Spyware Detector. To go through
the tips, click on Next Tip
button. If you are finished or don't want to
go through tips, Click on Cancel
button or Close button on the right top of the
window. After it all, it will prompt you to
perform scanning using two options:
1) Quick Scan
2) Full Scan
Quick Scan option scans the
hard drive where the operating system is
installed.
Full Scan option scans all the
selected hard drives present on the computer.
Click on the scan option you
want to perform and scanning will start. A
list of all the spywares that are detected
will be shown in the interface.
How
do I quarantine spywares?
After
scanning is done, Spyware Detector
will prompt a message window to ask you if you
want to quarantine the detected spywares or
not. If you click on Quarantine
button, it will quarantine the scanned
spywares. (If Spyware Detector is not
registered or Subscription period is expired,
it will not let you quarantine the scanned
items.) Quarantining the spyware entries means
that we are deactivating the spyware itself
and it will not be able to infect the machine
or do any activity harmful to computer. If you
don't want to quarantine any spyware entry,
click on Cancel button.
Should
I restart the machine after Quarantining spyware
entries?
Definitely
Yes! You must restart the machine
after you have quarantined the spywares as
some spyware entries are not quarantined at
the same time as they may be in use. So, those
entries are quarantined properly only after
you restart the PC. Spyware Detector
itself asks you to restart the PC whenever it
finds any entry which could not be quarantined
at the same time. After restarting machine,
open the application and click on Recover
button, Select all spywares and click on Delete
button. Sometimes you might have to scan the
PC again after this process and delete them
again in the same fashion. It is not because
we can not remove them, it is because those
are dangerous spywares which keep themselves
active until the PC is shutdown, so we again
have to track them and delete them.
How
do I delete the quarantined spywares?
After
spywares are quarantined, you have to click on
Recover button. Check the box
"Select All spywares to recover/
delete" to Recover
or Delete the quarantined
spyware entries. Recovering the spywares means
they will be reactivated. Deleting them will
permanently remove them from the computer.
Click on Delete button to
remove the spywares.
How
do I use Exclude option?
We
have provided a very useful option for the
users who use some kind of file sharing or P2P
programs that is "Exclude"
option. There are some softwares which come
under the category of keylogger or RAT (Remote
Administrative Tools) but people still use
them, in that case we give the user the
freedom to choose not to scan those entries at
all. After performing full scan before
quarantining, go to “Options”
button and click on “Exclude”
tab. This will provide a list of spywares that
are detected in the scanning process. Select
the spyware which you want to exclude from
being detected. Next time you scan your PC
using Spyware Detector, those
spywares will not get scanned. You can also
put back these spywares for scanning using the
Recover option next to Exclude
tab.

spyware entries create loss of Internet
