This latest version of Spybot is better than ever and caters much better for Windows Vista users. With these updates Spybot moves back up to the top of my spyware tools.
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 behavior 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 :)
If you want an introduction how Spybot-S&D works,
please read the tutorial
on the spybot web site .
Spybot is a two step process. First you can immunize
your computer to prevent Spyware from getting in.
However this does not replace a good Antivirus and
firewall. Secondly you can scan and remove spyware
from your system. I would normally install Spybot
to immunize and clean a system and then install the
Microsoft Anti spyware beta to keep the system clean.
