XOFTspy Portable Anti-Spyware is a proprietary application developed by ParetoLogic Inc. for Microsoft Windows computers. The anti-spyware program is designed to run from a USB drive and protect users from malicious threats. While the software is free to download and scan, the user must purchase a license to clean. The license is valid to clean multiple computers from the same U3 USB drive.
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 regardless if the computer is infected and unable to download other anti-spyware programs online.
Famous quotes containing the word portable:
“In the quilts I had found good objects—hospitable, warm, with soft edges yet resistant, with boundaries yet suggesting a continuous safe expanse, a field that could be bundled, a bundle that could be unfurled, portable equipment, light, washable, long-lasting, colorful, versatile, functional and ornamental, private and universal, mine and thine.”
—Radka Donnell-Vogt, U.S. quiltmaker. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981)
