SPYBOT FREE EDITION IS AN ON-DEMAND ANTI-SPYWARE SCANNER. 

Spybot searches your hard disk for all known types of spyware, adware and
potentially unwanted programs. It offers powerful features to remove these
threats and thus protect your privacy. It automatically detects:

•  adware networks, attempts at host redirection,
•  registry modifications
• unwanted changes in the browser configuration of Internet Explorer and
Firefox.



If an attempt is made to redirect your computer to a different Domain Name
Server without your permission Spybot can detect and stop this happening.

Spybot also protects your privacy is by removing ‘Usage Tracks’.

Spybots team of ‘Forensic Detectives’ constantly monitor the Internet for new
threats and attack vectors so it is important, that in order for software to
give maximum protection, it is regularly updated. The signatures for Spybot Free
Edition are updated once a week.

Spybot +AV is a licensed version of Spybot that enhances the protection offered
by Spybot Free Edition. This product not only protects against spyware but also
incorporates an award winning antivirus engine licensed by Bitdefender.

Improvements:

Spybot 2.9 features a long list of highest quality under the hood updates,
including outstanding support for Windows 11 and the latest releases of major
and niche web browsers. Spybot’s unique approach to anti-malware and unpopular
software complements the award-winning first class antivirus software included
in all paid versions, resulting in a complete solution that goes far beyond what
regular antivirus suites cover – even at an affordable and competitive price.

Spybot Anti-Beacon 3.8, a feature-rich one-click anti-telemetry solution
included in Spybot Professional Edition and available stand-alone, further
extends the users privacy to include protection from many kinds of telemetry
from legit providers, ranging from Windows itself to popular office suites and
browsers.

‘Restricting the amount of telemetry, most of which occurs without your
permission, that your device exchanges when connected to the Internet does not
only give you added protection and improve your privacy, it also reduces the
bandwidth you use and thus reduces your carbon footprint’ explains
Safer-Networking’s Environmental Officer Alec Darragh. Spybot Anti- Beacon puts
you back in control of the telemetry you exchange and leads to a great
improvement in your privacy and as an added bonus a saving in the energy being
wasted.

WHAT IS SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY?

Today, in order to protect yourself, it’s best to also think about protecting
your computer. With Spybot Search and Destroy, your computer is protected from
adware files, trojans, dialers, browser hijackers, rootkits and other infectious
malware software. Don’t know what a rootkit is? No need to learn what it is now.
With Spybot’s help, your computer is protected.

Spybot Free Edition, you guessed it, is a free security software tough enough to
stand up and fight most spyware, cookie-tracking softwares and aggressive
advertisements (pop-ups). Instead of allowing malicious applications into your
Window’s registry, either to track or infect your computer, SpyBot Search and
Destroy will prevent them from infiltrating your PC, and remove any unwanted
cookie trackers, too. Though cookies are a ’normal‘ addition to surfing the web,
some cookies are unwelcome, and can bog down your computer and browser.

Services from SpyBot Free Edition include:

 * Anitspyware
 * Anti-adware and ad removal
 * Program cleaner
 * Cookie cleaner


SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY REVIEW

I have used the SpyBot Free Edition for many years. From my experience as a
long-time Windows and internet user, I can’t express my interest enough in this
product. I would recommend running this software at least once a week to pick up
the most intrusive spyware your computer has picked up from your website
browsing history. If you are like me, you don’t want websites to track your
online habits.

Typically, I have seen that anti-virus software do not find concern in “tracking
cookies” or other programs specific to aggressive online marketing. With SpyBot
Free Edition, my computer is protected where my anti-virus fails to perform.

Let’s take a look at the basic and advanced tools in the information I have
provided below.


HOW TO USE SPYBOT

Basic, advanced and professional tools are available through SpyBot to protect
your computer. All basic tools, and most advanced tools are included in the free
version. For additional tools and anti-virus protection, a paid version of
SpyBot, the “Professional”, is available for purchase.


BASIC TOOLS

To use the basic tools, first click the “Update” button to stay up to date with
the state-of-the-art software from SpyBot. This will have your computer ready to
go with the latest and greatest before you begin the next step, scanning your
computer.

The second step in using the basic tools is to do a “System Scan”. This will
systematically scan and detect any infections or cookies in your computer. Allow
SpyBot to methodically go through the computer and detect any unwanted malware
or other computer threats. Do this weekly, and your computer will be well
protected.

Though not needed on a weekly basis, you can also click “Immunize” to protect
your Windows programs directly after new Windows updates are installed.
Typically, a home user who “immunizes” their computer after each Windows update,
and scans their computer weekly with SpyBot, is very well protected. As you can
see, with basic tools you get much more than ‚basic‘ or nominal protection.

Basic tools don’t stop there, there are still many more features to the ‚basic‘
program. Use the “Quarantine” tool to directly purge quarantined items from your
computer. Additionally, click on “Statistics” to check out and easily review
your computer’s latest scanning ’stats‘. You can never know ‚too much‘ about
your computer! Conversely, learn more about recent development and news at
SpyBot by clicking “News!”, or, consider thanking the engineers behind SpyBot by
donating a small contribution through the “Donate” link provided.




ADVANCED TOOLS

Let’s take a look at what the Advanced Tools offer. Here you can easily learn
how to optimize your computer with SpyBot’s advanced protection technology.


REPORT CREATOR

Archive and keep track of SpyBot’s performance through a SpyBot-created log, or
archive. This log will support you or SpyBot’s customer service support team in
case you need help assessing internal problems in the future.

All log files are designed and saved in the location, “C:\ProgramData\Spybot –
Search & Destroy\Logs“.




STARTUP TOOLS

Startup Tools allow you the flexibility of when and how selected programs will
run. Choose which programs you wish to run automatically or at start-up. This
tool makes it very flexible to use specific programs though best altered only by
advanced users.


ROOTKIT SCAN

Rootkit scans are sometimes difficult to determine. Is it a bad bug? Or
legitimate software that uses rootkit technologies? Rootkit scans are available
through SpyBot and are recorded through SpyBot’s internal log.

If you are unsure if the rootkit is safe or not, our friendly online forum is
happy to help determine what needs to be cleaned up, and what is ok to keep.
Sometimes useful, legitimate software can look more malicious than what it is.

SYSTEM REPAIR AND SECURE SHREDDER

Advanced features, as found through the ‚System Repair and Secure Shredder‘ tool
are not available in the SpyBot Free Edition but are well worth mentioning.
Features including special mobile phone scans, protected repairs, boot CD
creation, command line tool options, anti-virus protection and tougher
anti-malware are available through paid versions of SpyBot.

In general, SpyBot will not slow down or freeze up your computer like most large
anti-malware software products available. Its friendly, easy-to-use interface
and basic toolkit are effortless to use even for the most inexperienced computer
users. Installing the software is fast and easy. After downloading SpyBot, users
can quickly begin scanning their computer for any potential threats; and keep
their computer protected.

If you suspect an infection, download SpyBot and begin scanning your computer.
Skip on immunizing your computer as it may complicate the process and reduce the
success in finding the problem- or hopefully not, multiple problems.

In today’s world of cyber crime and online trickery, it is crucial to feel safe
using your computer and the internet. With SpyBot, protect yourself and your
computer before mistakes are made and damaging programs take over your computer.
Try the free version of SpyBot and take advantage of the many features available
in the basic package or go pro with the paid professional version(s). There is
no better version of free anti-malware protection available than the SpyBot Free
Edition.
