What do you like best about SpyBot?

I like that the Search and Destroy product has become a formal A/V solution. It allows for a thorough scan and removal of virus' and malware. The UI is easy to use and installation is simply and quick. Removal is just as easy if you do not want it to conflict with another A/V or A/M solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

I wish the free version offered a little more functionality. I use the free version if I am stuck in a pickle. It compliments my other A/V and A/M solutions quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SpyBot:

Spybot is a great A/V and A/M solution. I may even considering it for a full implementation in our environment if they can work with our endpoint solution provider. Today I just use the free version and I am satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SpyBot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Removal of virus' and malware on computers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyBot?

Spybot Search & Destroy has been available for a number of years and the feature set has expanded along with its tenure. Being able to automate the functionality of the program in the paid version is a big plus over the free version. I especially like the "immunization" feature of Spybot which updates your hosts file with names of websites which have been known to house malware. If you add your own sites to this file and Spybot updates the hosts file, your additions are not removed or edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

I would like to see the free version have the ability to be automated from within the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SpyBot solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Reducing the frequency of system malware infections

2. Helping to prevent access to inappropriate sites even when users are not connected to the corporate domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyBot?

Recommending to friends and family to use Spybot holds much more weight when they see that this popular security software is free for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

The lack of antivirus for the personal use Spybot version can seem a bit unwelcome, but bundling Windows Defender along with Spybot tends to make up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SpyBot:

In recommending Spybot to potential users, I would note that the free personal version typically covers everything that you would need an a personal antimalware solution. Bundle this with a good antivirus program, and Spybot tends to do much of the heavy lifting.

Moving on towards the professional version, it's a one stop shop for anything and everything you may need an an antivirus and/or antimalware solution. Moreso, the expert and advanced settings are very powerful tools in managing a secure IT environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SpyBot solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently solving our business problems of basic antimalware and antivirus coverage using Spybot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyBot?

The program updates and spyware databases are always updated and current! It picks up some spyware others don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

Nothing against Spybot, but I literally use three different spyware programs to keep me covered. All of them seem to pick up some things and not others. This is the case with Spybot as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SpyBot:

This is part of a spyware scan I run every so often with other products as well that is separate from my virus checker. I do not enable it to run all the time, but instead manually run it in addition to other spyware programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SpyBot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps detect and remove spyware. Helps keeps my browsers free of annoying spyware pop-ups and unnecessary background processes from running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyBot?

can be downloaded for free in its free version, and its main task is to detect and remove corrupt files, suspicious or spyware robots, which can be harmful to our computer.

The design of this program is really simple, with practically four buttons, to do everything, but still, it has many options.

What most attracts the attention of the program, at least to me, is the possibility of configuring it in several languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

They should add other skins.

and it has a relatively high Ram Consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SpyBot:

I recommend it because it is free and has a simple interface with intuitive options, it is effective, it removes malware, and it is always updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SpyBot solving and how is that benefiting you?

protection in the work stations in combination with other antivirus makes me feel more protective against computer intrusions and malicious advertising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
