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 and recommend SSD every chance I get. One of the things I love about the SSD is the command-line option; so you can schedule it. The auto check, auto run and auto close seem to work almost flawlessly. It's portable too; copy the files to a jumpdrive and then it's portable. The teatimer application is great when you're working on removing stubborn malware. And you can't beat the price...

    I ahve been using spybot for a few years now and it has saved my computers time and time again where mcafee failed.
    But now a malware called digitalprotection has ended spybots rein as it has not been able to stop it.

    Why the confusion over 'administrator'? I want to immunize, not run for office.
    And since I'm not the administrator, it sits there running for over 3 hours with no way to shut it down.

    It has plenty of functions and is absolutely free to use.

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

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