XOFTspy Portable Anti-Spyware

XOFTspy Portable Anti-Spyware is a proprietary application that ParetoLogic Inc. developed for Microsoft Windows computers. The anti-spyware program runs from a USB drive and protects users from malicious threats.[1] While the software is free to download and scan, the user must purchase a license to clean. The license is valid for cleaning multiple computers from the same U3 USB drive.[2]

Portability can be useful in situations where a computer is heavily infected, bogged down, or sluggish. By accessing the computer directly from a U3 device, XOFTspy Portable removes malware items even if the computer is infected and unable to download other anti-spyware programs.[3]

The product name "XOFTspy" has been retired, and the new product name is now "Digital Care".
