Spybot - Search & Destroy Editor's Review
Excellent choice for protection against a wide variety of threats, including spyware, adware and other malicious programs
Whether you are a new computer user or an experienced old pro, it is important to have the proper spyware and adware protection in place. With thousands of new spyware infections being unleashed every single day, it has never been more important for computer owners to arm themselves with the latest technology.
Fortunately for cash strapped consumers, there are a number of spyware protection programs out there that do not cost a cent. So cost does not need to be a consideration when it comes to getting the protection you need.
One of the most widely used of these free spyware protection tools is a program called Spybot - Search & Destroy. This popular product is designed to provide protection against a wide variety of threats, including spyware, adware and other malicious programs. Spybot is simple and fast to download, and it generally runs seamlessly in the background. It is a good idea, however, to run the scheduled updates and scheduled scans at a time when you will not be using the computer. These scans and updates can bog down the computer, especially if that computer is an older model.
Apart from the issue with the updates and the scans, it is important to keep in mind the Spybot alone may not be able to detect every single threat out there. It is a good idea for computer owners to download and install two or more programs and run one right after the other. That way the other program can pick up threats Spybot does not detect, and vice versa.
It is also important to watch out for false positives when running Spybot - Search & Destroy. Some legitimate programs may be flagged as spyware by the program, so it is important to review the scan results carefully before removing any entry. Survey sites and even some shopping sites may be flagged erroneously.
If you are looking for a good free program to detect spyware and keep it at bay, Spybot - Search & Destroy can be an excellent choice. This powerful program runs quickly, loads fast and provides excellent protection at an unbeatable price.

Spybot - Search & Destroy Author's Description
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.
