If you're experiencing Issue #1, please follow the instructions below to re-activate SpyHunter 5.

How to Successfully Re-Activate SpyHunter 5

Note: You do not need to re-purchase SpyHunter 5, if prompted.

  1. First, open SpyHunter 5 and click on the "Settings" icon in the main SpyHunter 5 window Screenshoot. Note: It is very important that you erase any information previously stored in the username and password fields.
  2. The "Account" tab should be visible, by default, when the "Settings" window opens. Underneath "Activate Your Account" type your registered email address and password into the two fields, and click the blue "Activate User" button Screenshoot. Note: When you input your account information, please type it in exactly as it appears in your "order confirmation" email.

SpyHunter 5 will display a notification upon successful activation.

Did Not Receive "Order Confirmation" Email with Account Info?

If you're experiencing Issue #2, here are some possible scenarios as to why you might not have received the "order confirmation" email:

  • Either your spam blocker, your ISP or your email client are blocking the "order confirmation" email. We recommend that you check your email account spam folder to ensure that the "order confirmation" email has not been filtered as spam.
  • You mistyped your email address during the purchase process. If you believe that you mistyped your email address at the time of the purchase, please contact our support department.
