Spy Sweeper is available to the University community at no charge to the individual or department. This software is made available under a license agreement with Vanderbilt and WebRoot Software, Inc. Access to the software is restricted to the students, faculty, and staff of the Vanderbilt University and Medical Center for use on systems owned by Vanderbilt, its students and its faculty and staff. The software may not be distributed to others or used on any system used for any other business or commercial purposes (either non-profit or for profit).

To install Spy Sweeper on your machine, please do the following:

Before proceeding, please make sure you have Patch 11 or higher if using McAfee VirusScan. See Known Issues

• Download Spy Sweeper from WebRoot's website
• Get the Activation Key
  • Note: You will need your VUnetID and E-password to access the key.
• Install the application

Important: After you enter the activation key during the Spy Sweeper install, Spysweeper creates a unique keycode for your specific installation. Access your keycode by clicking the About Spy Sweeper link in the lower right of the Webroot home screen. Write down your keycode and use it instead of the activation key during future reinstalls, upgrades, or license transfers to new machines.

Doing so ensures your reinstall/upgrade is not counted as a new install and subtracted from the number of Webroot licenses available to the Vanderbilt Community.

Alternatively, you may contact Webroot’s Consumer Support at support@webroot.com and, after providing your name and email address, they will furnish your keycode.
