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.

    I use AVG,Malware Bytes and Spybot and they work very good.I think Spybot is a great anti-malware program and itt has great malware an spyware detection rates.,but,it does not offer anti-virus software technology so if you have Spybot you should also have an antivirus.

    A year ago I worked for a game, so I had access to an important intranet. Players used to send me a lot of keyloggers, so I needed extracare with mails, etc... Our boss makes us download Spybot S&D and then we never had trouble with keyloggers. Perfect protection.

    Easily one of the best antimalware in the industry. And who said that their is no such thing as a free lunch? But in this case, it comes without the lousy quality that freeware usually gives. In fact it does its purported job with optimal quality that even commercial antimalware can't give.

    After seeing the comment by underscore, I felt I should point to this graph:

    I'ld hardly call that curve "hardly updated".
