Scan Running Processes

Running processes are programs that are open on your computer.  If adware or spyware is currently running on your computer it will be detected by scanning running processes.

Scan Windows Registry

Many spyware and adware programs place entries into your system registry that allow them to be executed when you turn on your computer, or track information about you.  If these registry entries are present on your computer they will be detected.

Scan Internet Cookies

Many websites track personal information using cookies.  Most cookies are harmless, but some are used to track your browsing habits and target you with advertising, or store personal information without your consent.  If these cookies are present on your computer they will be deleted.
