Spybot Search & Destroy

Safer-Networking Spybot Search & Destroy Version 2.0

Freeware Anti-Malware Installation (WIN)

Release Date: 2012.11.19

We are proud to release version 2.0 of our anti malware tool Spybot – Search & Destroy.

In our discussions with our users we realised at an early stage that they wanted a more modern user interface. We believe we have managed to create a new front end in our Start Center that has a clean look while proving easy access to many additional new features and tools.

The tools available are grouped in the ‘Start Center’ into three sections. Most of the ‘Basic Tools’ existing users will be familiar with but they have all been improved to increase speed and usability

The ‘Advanced Tools’ really start to let you get to the core of your system and are not for the faint hearted. ‘Settings’ gives you control of how Spybot 2 behaves and really allows you to tailor settings to get the maximum out of our software. Here you have control of everything from schedules to choosing how Spybot 2 interacts with other installed software. By tweaking the settings available scan speeds can be fine tuned. ‘Startup Tools’ give you access to various registry settings grouped logically. This is a tool for real experts and caution should be exercised when making changes. A ‘Secure Shredder’ is also provided which allows you to effectively delete files by making sure that all traces of data have been removed. This is very useful if you are worried about confidential documents falling into the wrong hands.

There are also facilities here to check for updates and repairing broken system entries.

Some new tools grouped in the third section ‘Professional Tools’ are only included in the paid versions. With the ‘Professional Tools’ we are really getting into the realm of experienced user that understands exactly how difficult malware can protect itself from less advanced software. Here you will find a tool that allows you to create the popular Spybot 2 liveCD. With the liveCD you can do a ‘clean boot’ of a system and still gain access to registry hives. This is something that cannot be achieved with bootable CDs based on other operating systems. The ‘Protected Repair Environment’ which allows you to scan and clean without the interference of malware. For iPhone users there is also a useful tool provided for scanning ‘apps’.

The ‘Scripting Tool’ and ‘OpenSBI Editor’ found here are not the type of thing that would be used in the everyday detection and removal of malware but are of use in situation where an Administrator wants to provide more protection to users.

As with the previous versions we are still providing a fully functioning version for free download!

Spybot – Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot also can clean program and Web-usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. For advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware and to malicious program installations. The handy online-update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listings of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents.

Detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spybot Search and Destroy is one of the most popular anti-malware tools. If there’s a piece of anti-malware software on a machine, it’s probably going to be this one. Now, I will say that S&D is not the most powerful of the anti-malware tools, but it’s by far not the worst. I would actually rank it right below Malwarebytes with regard to reliability. And since there is no harm in having two anti-malware tools on one machine (unlike antivirus, which is a big no-no), using Malwarebytes and S&D as a one-two punch will catch most every piece of malware. The one thing S&D has over the free version of Malwarebytes is that it has a real-time scanner.
