New Version of Spybot Search and Destroy

Posted in Anti-Malware Tools, Online Security, Security Tools, Updates on September 6th, 2007

We highly recommend Spybot Search and Destroy to our readers.

Not because it is the best anti-spyware on the market, but because of it’s Immunize function, which uses practically no computer resources to effectively prevent the installation of thousands of malicious items. (We do also recommend periodically using the scanner, but here is so much spyware out there that it seems that no program is able to get it all, and therefore we recommend using a variety of anti-spyware applications.)

And believe us, when it comes to malware, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Therefore we strongly recommend installing the new and improved version of Spybot, version 1.5.

We recommend downloading this program from the creator via the download options provided:
