How do I scan spyware using Spyware Detector?

Generally after installing Spyware Detector, it automatically opens the application. If you try to open it later, click Start---> Programs---> SpywareDetector---> SpywareDetector.

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 Close button. After this, it will prompt you to perform scanning using three options:

1) Quick Scan
2) Full Scan
3) Custom Scan

Quick Scan option scans the hard drive where the operating system is installed. Suppose you have the operating system installed on the C drive and you have selected the Quick scan then the application will scan only C drive for spyware.

Full Scan will scan your complete PC including the operating system, program files as well as your files and documents. If your PC has more than one hard drive on it, you can select which hard drive you would like to scan in the Full Scan option. This is done by checking the appropriate checkbox before the hard drive letter (e.g., C:) in the Full Scan window.
Malicious File Scan: We are looking for PE file structural malformation where various characteristics show a major difference between a good (legitimate file) and bad file (spyware file). Statistical analysis has been used to minimize the false positives and detect Spyware files based on only File integrity.

Custom Scan will scan only the selected locations by the user.

Click on the scan option you want to perform and scanning will start. A list of all the spyware that are detected will be shown in the interface once the scanning is over.

If at anytime during scanning if you want to stop the scan click on the Stop button present on the left hand top side of the product interface. This will stop the scanning.
