"spybot is dead long live malwarebytes"
by: dtrek0129
Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.6.2
Pros: thorough Cons: if you don't have over 500MB RAM expect this to take 1 or more hours to do a scan Other Thoughts: spybot will not tell you about anything you may not want on your computer it only tells you what it thinks should not be on your computer malwarebytes on the other hand gives you the heads up on possible threats even if they may be low risk and then at least you know the threat is there and do what you wish with it Was this review helpful? 51 out of 97 users found this review helpful.

"Fast For Me"
by: User
Other Thoughts: Great program. I don't why it's slow for others. It takes 16 minutes at most for a complete scan. Works great with AVG. Haven't come up against anything yet that the two couldn't handle. It's my first install on a new computer after anti-virus.

"should come with a free nuclear power station."
by: stuart
Other Thoughts: as the title of my review says its a power hogger.
I thought i would give old sd another spin to see if things have improved and tbh,,they haven't.
It still has that ugly useless interface, it still uses more power than China,it still takes 2wks to complete a scan,it still has that intrusive and power hungry tea time shield,start up is still more like re entry and its detection is still average.
Scores points as its free.....Was this review helpful? 103 out of 214 users found this review helpful.

Other Thoughts: This is one of the best free system protection utilities there is! I use it all the time. I have it installed on all my computers and install it on my customers computers.

"Malwarebytes- AntiMalware & Superantispyware best free"
by: Gizmo
Other Thoughts: Both Spybot S&D and Spyware Terminator were ineffective against the infections on my test system, detecting approximately 5 – 8% of the original infections. After cleaning, there was nothing left for these to claim any glory at all, and I find it hard to recommend either.
Prevention is, however, better than cure, and none of these two spyware programs offer any good prevention.

"Slows down"
by: Scofy
Other Thoughts: Beware: It slows down my computer. Complicated interface, buttons, selection, etc. One wrong move and you're done with all the system files. You have to reinstall you're OS. Restore system won't work this time.Was this review helpful? 94 out of 188 users found this review helpful.

"Still one the best free"
by: R2D2

"How do i rate Spybot"
by: Phil Manc
Other Thoughts: Spybot has never detected anything during a full scan also realtime protection never detected anything. ESET Nod32 catches them nasties first maybe that's why Spybot never detects anything.I will have to disable Nod32 than go to some 'bad ' infected websites to test this theory or maybe that's a bad idea Was this review helpful? 101 out of 202 users found this review helpful.
