| "Choose another" As things stand, this one isn't nearly as good as Ad-Aware SE, A-Square or Spycatcher Express.

| "v- 1.6 RC2" To the person with 244 detections ... dayum ! ... what, did you have the 'find tracks / trackings' selected, additionally?
Fully database updated, it found good 'ol Microsoft's, IE's Alexa (search page file, not the tool bar) on my scan.
Anywayz, presently, has 170,305 definitions;
what I opted, install size came to 42.8mb.
I don't have the Tea Time enabled, so I can't speak to that function, yet
Beyond its standard, good features, It has some neat modules in its Advanced mode> Tools (one example, nice HOSTS feature).
Its total memory during scan usage is very good
However, the largest concern I have, is the prolonged, excessive CPU usage during scan (and I had nothing else open)

| "Good" Like the previous reviewer said, if you have say, 244 problems or so, Spybot does lock up on fixing the problems.
The way around it that I use, is select only 3 or maybe 5 or so problems at a time. I am not sure the number it can fix before locking up, but I select a few, then when it says 5 problems fixed, I select a few more, & so on till I got them all.
Good program, nasty bug!

| "does not work" I have spent the whole day today, 27 June 2008, downloading this program onto two separate computers. After an hour and ten minutes of scanning, and being informed that there are 244+ problems, when the Fix these items was pressed, the program defaulted and failed to respond. This was done on both computers TWICE with the same result. It's about time they fixed this problem, no wonder people won't use it

| "Out of date signature updates" Why can't the Spybot S&D programmers concentrate on the signature updates it would be nice to get updates at least once a week instead of every month rather than refining the interface with all these beta updates.

| "OMG!" If I could I would donate my whole check to this company or person who made this company. I just dont own credit card. I will find some way to donate money I promise this. I started off with System Mechanic Pro. No problems with that. It did its job. I downloaded this program and it found over 100 huge threats from spyware to trojans. I can NOT THANK you enough Spybot makers. Thank you so much for saving my PC.

| "Exceptional" I have been using S&D for a long time and to say the truth i do not think i used it to its full potential until today when i attempted to reinstall webroot desktop firewall on my vista business system. I have been having problems with the firewall because it was using 100mb of ram. This time i throughly inspected all the alerts given by resident and there it was a Worm, to be more specific a resource hog. Not even avast could see it. I am now going to download the firewall again using a secure link provided for by webroot.
