Release Date: Monday, January 26, 2009
Release Notes:
Spybot Search & Destroy can detect and remove different kinds of spyware from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not cover. If you see new toolbars in Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes or if the start page of the browser has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot Search & Destroy is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer. If you fear incompatibility with other software you are using, we can assure you that will not be the case. Spybot Search & Destroy can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports. Spybot Search & Destroy also delivers useful tools such as an e-mail list of opt-out addresses to stop unwanted solicitations and a file shredder to securely overwrite unwanted files deleted from your PC. For protection against ad-serving software, trojan horses and other means of tracking your surfing habits, get Spybot Search & Destroy immediately.
