How to Register and Activate SpyHunter

If you have downloaded SpyHunter, follow these instructions to register and activate your account.

If you have not yet purchased SpyHunter, you can register SpyHunter by opening SpyHunter and clicking on the "BUY!" button, which is located at the top of SpyHunter's "Home" screen. You will be redirected to our purchase page where you will be asked to enter your customer details along with a valid email address. After a successful payment, the system will send an email confirmation to the email address that you have provided during the purchase process. This "Account Activation" email will contain your account information and the details that you will need to activate SpyHunter.

Note: You only need to activate SpyHunter if the yellow "BUY!" icon (see screenshot) is visible at the top of the main SpyHunter window. If you do not see the "BUY!" icon, it means that your SpyHunter program has already been activated.

SpyHunter (Windows) Activation Instructions

There are several methods to activate SpyHunter, which are described below.

If SpyHunter (Free) is Already Installed on Your Computer

1. If SpyHunter is not already open on your computer, double-click the SpyHunter icon on your Desktop.

Then, click the "Activate Account" button to open the window.

3. If you have not already purchased other EnigmaSoft products, you will need to create an account to activate. The next screen will prompt you to create a password. Fill out the fields and click the "Create Account" button.
