spy bot is simple, to dwl, install, and use. its been one of 3 main products i use to clean up after an infection.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the new interface is a bit more complicated then version 1, wich was very easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I love most about this product is the effectiveness of this and how accurate it. Not only does it search throughout the basic folders on your computer its actually goes deep into deal on the computer and finds all the hidden bugs, and then notifies you about its find!!!!

It can be time consuming but that only means its doing its job. Which is good but I recommend doing this at night or at the end of a business day if using at work so it has time to do a good run through the pc without interrupting your work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have use this software for many years. I recommend this software to all my friends and l highly trust this software on its ability to protect and clean an OS.
over the years that i have used this, i always like the ability to clean and remove what i want in the registry. Its easy to understand and with detail descriptions, it makes it clear to remove what is harmful.
This software has browser protection and detection. It also scans for intrusions or potential problems within software that could be making your computer at risk.
In the end this software is free and is always having updates on the latest spyware and malware updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much to dislike. over the years there has been many advancements and has gotten faster in its scanning. i would like to see it a little more faster but you can't complain when its free and it works.
would like this software to be available in mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is able to scan for the less dangerous but often annoying bits of spyware and malware that slip through most antivirus programs and eliminate them. By removing these annoying bits of malware, it's able to improve the performance and health of your PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program tends to hang a lot and a full deep scan does take a long time, although it's worth it for PC health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It looks like it is doing something, it does pop up every now and then, but it is totally unclear what it is it finds and whether it is malicious or if it is a legit software application that is needing to perform that action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not user friendly, it doesn't tell me exactly what software is trying to change my registry so I am never sure whether I should block or allow. The terminology it uses doesn't even make it clear to me whether I should click 'OK' to either block it or not. And I am not a dummy, I am a software/ web developer myself and I specialize in usability. I also had malware and it could help me get rid of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a lifesaver of a product, it has cleaned up and detected so many things over the years that i have donated to the site several times over. This product succeeds where most if not all antivirus fails in detecting why a virus keeps popping up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike 2.0 but love 1.62 a lot. I am lost in the new product, the older one was much better laid out. The other dislike is that it sometimes gets clobbered by antivirus programs (yes McAfee I am looking at you). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have only used the free version of SpyBot software for personal and SMB use in the past. It's good for what it is: free antivirus and anti-malware software that you can use on your own computer, assuming you're admin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This product doesn't compare to the larger anti-virus and anti-malware/spyware options out there. If you work at a large corporation with a dedicated IT department, chances are you'll end up using one of those and not needing SpyBot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price is free for personal use! Can be setup to monitor your pc at all times. Very in-depth scan for malicious software/cookies/trojans etc on your computer. Can run pre-windows to catch items in memory and get rid of them. I love this app! I've been using it for about 10 years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, this app is awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decent detection of malware. Free for non-commercial users. Corporate version can be centrally deployed and administered, and in large volumes comes at a low price. Does a decent job of removing infections that have already taken hold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not as fast or as effective as other anti-spyware packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spybot has been a staple in my armory of malware removal tools for almost a decade. You can install it after you are already infected, and even with the free version (paid version is coming), you will be able to enable blocks for every browser for known malware sites, and clean up all infections.

There has always been a lot of pandering for donations, and never a paid version. I am curious to see what the paid version brings, but it makes me worry that the free version may suffer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
