Spyware Begone instantly finds and removes all unwanted spyware, adware, browser hijackers, pop-ups, key loggers, worms, Trojan horses, and other forms of infectious software. It helps prevent identity theft, credit-card theft, data corruption, hacker attacks, and even pop-up ads due to spyware infections. It even removes spyware and adware from programs such as Kazaa, allowing those programs to continue functioning properly.

Version 5.0 includes a 24-hour, automatic-protection and live-updating system, and a system-restore feature.
