Installing Webroot Spy Sweeper was quick and easy. I double-clicked the installation file and proceeded through the installation wizard. As with most installation wizards, this one asked me to choose a path for the installation, to accept the EULA, to choose a location for the program shortcut, and a few other standard questions. Near the end of the installation process, the wizard also asked me to activate my copy of Spy Sweeper by providing my e-mail address.
I assumed that this spy sweeper "activation" screen was merely used to collect e-mail addresses for marketing purposes, so I decided to skip it and finish the installation. Once the installation finished, I closed the wizard and ran Spy Sweeper by clicking its icon from the Start menu. Being that this was the first time I had run Spy Sweeper, I was asked to update my spyware definitions, as shown in Figure A. I clicked Yes, and the updating process proceeded normally. This would be the only time I'd be able to update the spyware definitions. When I tried to do so at a later date, I was prompted to purchase a subscription, as the sales representative said I would be.
