How can the spy program scanning and cleaning be so fast?
|
Unlike viruses, who can operate from anywhere on your system, spyware needs to hook into your Windows to do its dirty deeds. X-Cleaner knows the "hooks" spyware uses and where to look for them.
It does not scan your entire hard disk (which can take hours) but zeroes in on the locations used by the spyware. This way, detection can happen very quicky (not more than a few seconds).
For the general cleaning options, we use low-level calls to windows to clear and cache the required information in memory.
These techniques combined with optimized 32-bit code make us one of the fastest programs in our category.
