Remove Spyware with Spybot S&D

Spybot Search & Destroy can help you with removing and preventing installation of spyware. I’ve used it for a long time and the program has helped me many times. Much has been written about the program, but I thought to include it here, since I find it very essential. It includes three parts:

  • Main Interface to help remove and immunize (similar to SpywareBlaster) against malware and other useful tools;
  • TeaTimer – to protect from unintended registry and system settings changes;
  • SDHelper – to provide active protection against bad downloads in Internet Explorer;

Main Useful Features:

  • Scans and removes various malwares;
  • Provides immunization (which can be complemented with SpywareBlaster);
  • System startup editor;
  • Can be scheduled to do a system scan on system startup;
  • Automatic updates of the program and malware database.

Excellent and strongly recommended tool in the battle against spyware. Of course using Mozilla Firefox also would decrease the chance of getting spyware :-) .
