Spybot - Search & Destroy

In today's digital world, people use the internet for a number of things from reading articles in websites to shopping without ever wondering what's behind every website and every browser gesture they make.

Just like it everything else, the internet is a hotbed of people who use all kinds of spyware and malware to gain money by selling your personal information or to steal money from other people by accessing your computer through trojans, dialers, hijackers, keyloggers, usage trackers, ActiveX applications, just to name a few.

Spybot - Search & Destroy is a free antispyware utility that targets adware, malicious code, and other threats removing them from your computer while also providing a suite of tools for system repair, file shredding and managing autostart items.

The interface has a professional look with the modules in plain view meaning that beginners won't have trouble trying to figure out how to use the program, furthermore a system immunization feature is also available, preventing new spyware from finding it's way to your computer making it so you don't have to scan your computer all the time though depending on the computer the scanning speed might not be too slow.

Even better this new version comes with a virus scanning and removal application though it is recommended that you download a regular anti-virus as it is better to be prepared for all eventualities that might occur.

Other thing you should be careful about is it's power to delete things that you might not want to so, it's recommended you let the program do a backup of your registry and be advised that you can only run it as the administrator so if you share your computer with someone else remember that you may not be able to use it to clean up.

All thing told even though it has it's problems with interface and the database is not very informative it still is one of the best spyware removal tools available so if you think you have spyware and malware in your computer give it a go and see the results for yourself.
