- Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different
kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of
threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If
you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't
intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you
browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most
probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you
may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that
is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a
marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement
companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to
see if something snooped into your computer, too :)
To see a list of threats that Spybot-S&D
can remove, click on
Support in the navigation bar at the
left, and there on
Threats. If you want an introduction
how Spybot-S&D works, please read the
tutorial. If you fear incompatibility
with other software you are using, we can assure you that will
not be the case. Still, we have created a
compatibility overview listing some
software that compatibility has been asked for before.
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 worked on. And for
professional users, it allows to fix some registry
inconsistencies and extended reports. A list of features is
available if you click on
features.
