Bizarre™ Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer too.Thanks to thylacine for the update.Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonliul Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 One of my oldest friend. When there were no spyware software around Spybot - Search & Destroy was there for me along side with Ad-aware. i thought this old software has been forgotten, now the only function useful is immunization, it still defend adware for me like dear madeinheaven said. some terrible adware just like hoodlum, such as AVG toolbar. S & D works well. :troll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain_death Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 For immunization only, select a portable installation and update manually...This avoids the need to disable all those crappy services. :wtf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
