After collecting and analyzing of sent to us users' opinions about this program it takes our editors award with a rate "5". This means that this program is popular and was found as convenient and useful.

Spybot-S&D searches your hard disk for so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net. If Spybot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with empty dummies in case their host won't work any more with its bot removed. In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot. For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated for unknown Spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three mahjor browsers Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries into the registry.

Version: 1.6.2
Has always been a decent utility. Recently came back to it with Ad-Aware free version locking up in Vista. No lock up with Spybot and it found a bunch of stuff after which my laptop worked much better. Always kept it as a tool on my XP desktop.

Version: 1.6.2
My first download was corrupted and would not install. The second time it downloaded, but failed to work correctly....so I had to uninstall. I was informed there were a few "bits" left on my computer that have to be removed manually...guess I'll have to leave those where they are...as I have no idea how to get rid of them!!
Spybot came with high praise, but unfortunately I wasn't able to see it work.

Good but can do better.
It gets some the troublesome spyware but not all, though for a freeware it's a 5 out of 5.
