Technical Overview

Webroot Spy Sweeper offers corporate spyware removal and adware pop-up removal software which is a total enterprise anti spyware solution for distributed spyware management using a client/server architecture. This illustration shows how Spy Sweeper works:

Architecture

Three components work together on the network to manage updates, application configuration, and spyware detection and removal:

• The Webroot Enterprise Server is installed on the company server and periodically contacts the Webroot server for updates to both Webroot Spy Sweeper and spyware definitions. This automated update process ensures that the network always has the most current protection. The Webroot Enterprise Server also contains the Admin Console—the graphical user interface for the administration features—which provides centralized installation and management, enabling IT personnel to control and monitor the deployment of updates and Webroot Spy Sweeper settings across the enterprise.

• The Communication Agent (CommAgent) is installed on each workstation in the company and regularly contacts the company server to download and install Webroot Spy Sweeper updates, ensuring that all valuable computer resources have the most up-to-date protection available. The CommAgent also retrieves sweep scheduling and spyware detection and disposition options.

• The Spy Sweeper Corporate spyware removal and adware pop-up removal application is installed on each workstation in the company and scans the client system using a constantly evolving database of thousands of known spyware threats. If any files or traces of spyware match the threat definitions database, Spy Sweeper immediately quarantines them. Quarantining disables spyware functionality for immediate protection, while giving you the option to review and permanently delete suspect files or safely restore them if they are essential to the operation of desirable applications.

Spy Sweeper proactively monitors and protects your system memory, home page, and new cookie additions for added peace of mind.
