A lot of computers are being destroyed today due to the activities of spyware and other potentially dangerous programs. To keep your system and files saved on it safe from prying eyes, it is important to install a security or privacy software, and that is what Spybot-Search & Destroy is all about.

What is Spybot – Search & Destroy?

Spybot – Search & 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-Search & Destroy is freeware, so there is no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Does the program have any downside?

Spybot Search & Destroy now boasts of a few updates that make it more stable.
