Spybot – Search and Destroy Free Edition 1.5.2
Spybot – Search and Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot is also free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
Changes:
- Improved compatibility
- More effective detections
- New functions
- Fixed: the immunization sometimes needed to be applied twice before sticking
- File shredder is back
- Fixed: impossible to remove entries from the user blacklist in the Internet Explorer plugin
- Long starting time in previous Spybot versions is fixed
