Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software and other security technologies for consumer and enterprise markets, today released the next generation of its award-winning consumer anti-spyware software.

CRT uses adaptive recognition processes and proactive spyware research to completely eradicate the most debilitating types of spyware from a PC in a single sweep and restore the machine to a stable, pre-infection state.

Using CRT, Spy Sweeper 4.5 is able to detect and remove these devious types of spyware during regular system sweeps. Additionally, Spy Sweeper maintains an extremely low false positive rate - approximately 1:1,000,000 - assuring consumers that they are not removing any essential system operations applications or data that are required for normal PC function.

"The unparalleled combination of CRT and our superior behavior-based Smart Shields represents the next evolution in spyware protection and removal technologies," said C. David Moll, CEO of Webroot Software.

Webroot has also added a host of new usability features to Spy Sweeper 4.5 to further enhance customers' overall user experience. Consumers will enjoy a cleaner look and feel, a new home page that consolidates all important information into a single location and a new risk rating that graphically illustrates the threat level of each spyware trace.
