Introduced in July, 2010, TwitSweeper’s new feature has reviewed over one million shortened links to detect spam,  malware or phishing sites. “We see this as a growing problem”, states Doug Braun, President of Emerge2 Digital.  “To date, this new feature has already flagged over 1,900 bad links, with more to come.”

According to Dasient, over 1.3 million web sites host malware, usually without their knowledge and often due to third-party widgets, advertising or applications on their websites being hacked.

“As we all know, where spammers see an opportunity to make money or disrupt commerce, they’ll take advantage of it.” Fortunately, TwitSweeper is slamming the door shut on Twitter malware and spam.

You may now sign-up for TwitSweeper for 3-month, 6-month or 12-month periods after the free trial period. The free trial is still available!

So if you don’t want to commit to a 12-month period – no problem. Just select one of the other periods.

It is a recurring term of whatever duration you select. To continue providing service to your account, the payment gateway will automatically renew for your selected duration at the end of each period, unless you cancel the renewal, which you can do at any time. You can login to the PayPal payment system and cancel the recurring subscription, or you can remove your Twitter accounts from the TwitSweeper system if you wish. Or you could just let us know and we can cancel your renewal. So, no one is locked in to any upcoming renewal. Use the system, benefit from it, and if you ever want to stop any future renewal, you have multiple ways of doing so.

Of course, we hope that you would instead find the service useful and helpful as it continues to check your Twitter followers for undesirable ones, removes and blocks them, and as we continue to add more features to it and to respond to users’ many great suggestions. Thanks for using TwitSweeper!

So we built the application on our servers so you don’t have to worry about downloading any apps to your computer. Our servers do the work and provide you with your personal account stats on an ongoing basis. It’s as easy as that. It depends on how you value your time and freedom. Our goal: Set it and forget it – cut down the annoyance factor, save time, make your Twitter experience easier and more enjoyable. It’s a small price to pay, but with real benefits.
