SpyBot - Search & Destroy 1.6.0.30 Final|15 MB
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes
spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common
anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour
to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your
knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies.
If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that
you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes
inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed
without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with
spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be
infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is
free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has
invaded your computer.
To see a list of threats Spybot-S&D can remove,
in the navigation bar at the left click on Support --> Threats. For
an introduction to Spybot-S&D, please read the tutorial. If you
fear incompatibility with other software you are now using, although we
can assure you that there is no danger you can review our compatibility
overview which lists some software whose compatibility has been
analyzed.
Spybot-S&D can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other
users and don't want them to see what you have been working on. And for professional users, Spybot-S&D
allows you to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports. A list of all the application's
features is also available.
