Description:

Smart Sweep and Internet Sweep keep track of all files added and any changes made to existing configuration files when you install a program using the now discontinued Norton Cleansweep uninstaller/file cleaning utility. "Smart Sweep tracks all file additions and changes that originate from floppies, CDs, or network drives. Internet Sweep tracks all ActiveX control file and Plug-in installations that originate from a Web site. CleanSweep uses this information later to ensure safe and thorough uninstallations"
