Spybot - 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.

I have been using Spybot S&D for over a year now and am totally impressed. The advanced teatimer section and the description of each threat has enlighten me. The program is easily ran and currently scans for over 20,000 known threats. They also added a classy optional skins download to fit just about anyones taste in color/font schemes. The down load is free to assure everyone can be protected. They do receive and need donations though...I donated twice. Awesome tool to help us stay protected from registry changes too. Great work of art!
