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.
Spybot-S&D can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you have been working on. And for professional users, Spybot-S&D allows you to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports.
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-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
Features:
Boot CD Creator
A boot CD can be used to start your
computer from a read only medium that will allow malware detection and
cleaning that is not influenced by any malware that your running system
might be infected with. This is extremely useful when targetting
rootkits that are able to hide on the active system; while Spybot is
able to detect and remove many rootkits, this is the failsafe variant.
With the Boot CD Creator you can make your own CD-ROM with Spybot on it:
Protected Repair Environment
When the user chooses the ‘Protected
Repair Environment’ a new Windows Desktop is opened and the Start Center
runs in such a way that other software cannot interact with it. The PRE
also prevents keyloggers and other malware having access to or control
of the Windows Login screen and the User Account Control dialogs
A practical use of the Repair
Environment would be where Spybot itself cannot be started any more,
where it repeatedly closes unexpectedly, acts erratically, or where it
is known that malware is present on the system but it is not detected.
