What do you like best about SpyBot?

The simplicities of Spybot are the main draw. With minimal user input I am able to monitor over 150 workstations with plans to expand it further. Updates are seemless, though there have been a few instances where one or two adware breaches have occurred. Most due to user interference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

I wish updates would occur more frequently to the database of known malicious software. That is really my only complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpyBot?

Immunization was always a selling point of this software and today is protection against some 250 000 types of malicious software.. There are diferent "moduls" for diferent browsers, in x86 an x64 modes. This is a must use for everone that had a misfortune to had a hijacked browser.

Also, "Rootkit scan" is a necessity today, for any standard anti-malware/anti-virus software. S&D have 2 levels, fast and deep-scan, both doing a great job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

Speed of updating is, after all this years, still a problem. With all today optics networks and high-speed internet it's incredible that some updates can take 10+ minutes to load. Also, 1st instalation can be a tricky one. 1st Immunization can be also time - consuming (but it's the best feature of this software). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SpyBot:

Simple but revolutionary software that is a pleasure to work with. After instalation 1st thing to do is to immunize a PC, only after that You can go with all other interesting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Security in work, blocking diferent types of malware, internet security in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
