Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6.0.30
Publisher's Description:
Spybot Search and Destroy searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or adbots; that is, little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs display. Many of these modules also transmit information, including your surfing behavior on the Internet. If it finds such modules, it can remove them. In most cases the host still runs fine after removing the spyware/adware. Another feature 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 major browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, and Opera.
Latest Changes:
- Integrates parts of the future 2.0 file scanning engine to speed up the on-demand scan
- Both immunization and the on-demand scan are able to access a dozen different browsers, which now includes the latest revisions of the most popular ones, Firefox and Opera
- Easier On-Access Use
- Safer Networking also announces OpenSBI, our attempt at opening up the fight against malware to anyone who wants to participate

Yanaicka, where did you get you information? 0.003%??? you must have made that up. In most current tests, SpyBot performed at an impressive 80% for spyware and 70% for rootkits, above norton, pc cillin, and just under spy sweeper. I've used SpyBot for years, and never have i had an issue with spyware, rootkits, or aything else of the like slowing down my system or causing a single problem. Plus, the immunization feature is flawless in my experience. Why not use a free product that prevents you from even getting malware to begin with?? especially at an 80% accuracy rating... seems pretty damn good to me. I'll keep using it for the time being. Solid app with a solid support group and great programmer behind it.

this 1.6 version is way better then the 1.5, it uses way less resources. This new 1.6 version runs smoothly like it should be....without any fans turning on..i am very impressed. the scan was pretty darn good .... People must realize the bigger the hard drive the longer the scan...
way to go Spybot Search and Destroy keep up the good work...

Scan times are improved indeed, but at the end of the story, this program doesn't detect anything.
It currently recognizes about 0.0003% of current malware.
